Question

in a right triangle one leg measure 4 inches and the other leg measures 6 inches what is the length of the hypotenuse in inches

Answer 1

a²+b²=c²
4²+6²=c²
16+36=c²
52=c²
Sqrt52=~7.21

Answer 2

Use Pythagoras (x^2 + y^2 = r^2) Simplified: leg squared plus leg squared equals hypotenuse squared. Therefore 4^2 + 6^2 = h^2 16+36=h^2 h^2 = 52 H= root of 52=7,21 inches
