Question

Which relationship between the legs and the hypotenuse of the right triangle is correct? A) 15 + 16 = x B) 15 + x = 16 C) 152 + 162 = x2 D) 152 + x2 = 162

Answer 1

The relationship between legs and hypotenuse of a right triangle is
a^2+b^2=c^2
where a,b are the length of the legs, and c is the length of the hypotenuse.

Without knowing the dimensions of the triangle, we assume the hypotenuse is x, and the legs are 15 and 16.

So the proper relationship is:
15^2+16^2=x^2.
