Pythagorean Theorem-Finding the Hypotenuse

Calculate the missing side measurements using a2+b2=c2

Answer 1

Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Answer 2

The length of the hypotenuse is approximately 11.43 inches.

The length of the hypotenuse, when given the two sides of lengths 9.4 inches and 6.5 inches, can be found using the Pythagorean theorem
`\(c = √(a^2 + b^2)\).` Here's how the calculation is performed step by step:

1. Square the lengths of the two given sides:

-
`\(a^2 = 9.4^2 = 88.36\)`

-
`\(b^2 = 6.5^2 = 42.25\)`

2. Add the squares of both sides:

-
`\(a^2 + b^2 = 88.36 + 42.25 = 130.61\)`

3. Take the square root of the sum to find the hypotenuse length:

-
`\(c = √(130.61) ≈ 11.43\) inches`
