Question #6 6) Find the hypotenuse of a right triangle if side a is 3 feet and side b is 4 feet

Answer 1

Side a : 3

side b : 4

Since it's a right triangle we can apply the Pythagorean theorem:

c^2 = a^2+b^2

Where c is the hypotenuse.

Replacing with the values given and solving for c:

c^2 = 3^2+4^2

c^2 = 9 + 16

c^2 = 25

c =√25

c = 5

Answer : 5 feet
