What is the length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle if each of the two legs is 4 units?

Answer 1

• Perpendicular=P=4
• Base=B=4

Hypotenuse be H

Apply Pythagorean theorem

`\\ \tt\hookrightarrow H^2=P^2+B^2`

`\\ \tt\hookrightarrow H^2=4^2+4^2`

`\\ \tt\hookrightarrow H^2=32`

`\\ \tt\hookrightarrow H=√(32)`

`\\ \tt\hookrightarrow H=5.8units`
