Question

What is the length of the hypotenuse in a right triangle with legs of length 14 and 48?

Answer 1

Answer: =50

Explanation: An unknown leg of a right triangle can be found using the Pythagorean theorem. Pythagorean theorem: a²+b²=c²

a²=14²+48²

a²=14²=14*14=196

a²=48²=48*48=2304

a²=196+2304

a²=196+2304=2500

a²=2500

a²=(25*100)=2500

a=5*10=50

A=50

Hope this helps!

Thanks!

Have a great day!

Answer 2

14^2+48^2=x^2
196+2304=x^2
2500=x^2
x=50
hypotenuse equals 50
