Question

1 . The lengths of the legs of a right triangle are 25 cm and 60 cm. What is the length of the hypotenuse?


A.

42.5 centimeters
  B. 65 centimeters
  C. 9.2 centimeters
  D. 35 centimeters


























 



D.





35 centimeters

Answer 1

`a^(2)+ b^(2) = c^(2)` that is, hypotenuse.
Therefore, let the length of the hypotenuse be 'x.'

`25^(2)+ 60^(2)= x^(2)`
625+3600=
`x^(2)`
4225=
`x^(2)`
Therefore,

`√(4225)`=x
65=x
The length of the hypotenuse is B.65 centimetres.
