Answer:

≈ 10.63

Explanation:

Pythagorean Theorem... Possibly the most easy theory in math once you understood it.

Here's the formula.


A^2+B^2=C^2

AB would be the hypothenuse

BC would be the opposite

CA would be the Adjacent.

But let's not make it complicated though, the question is actually quite easy.

You are asked to find AB, the hypothenuse.

The hypothenuse would be C.

BC and CA would be A and B.

It doesn't matter where are you going to place the numbers.

So,
7^2 + 8^2


7^2 + 8^2 = 49 + 64\\

= 113

Now we would have to square root 113 since
A^2+B^2=C^2


√(113) is an irrational number, and the question asks you to round ro the nearest tenth.


√(113) =10.63014581

≈ 10.63

Your answer would be 10.63

Hope this answer helped :)
