the answer is 37 cause the two sides squared and added together equals the hypotenuse squared after that you just find the square root of the answer

Answer:

Hypotenuse, h = 37 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

In a right angled triangle, the length of legs are 12 meters and 35 meters. We have to find the length of the hypotenuse of a right angled triangle.

It can be calculated using Pythagoras theorem :


(hypotenuse)^2=(base)^2+(perpendicular)^2

So,
(hypotenuse)^2=(12)^2+(35)^2

hypotenuse = 37 meters.

Hence, the length of the hypotenuse of a right angled triangle is 37 meters.
