Question

In a right triangle, the lengths of the legs are a and b. Find the length of the hypotenuse, if a=5, b=6

Answer 1

√61

Explanation:

Pythagoras Theorem states that :

a²+b²=c²

Where c is the hypotenuse and a and b are the lengths of the legs

So this formula needs no adjustments and only substituting values:

5²+6² = c²

25+36= c²

61 = c²

Square root both sides

c = √61

Hope this helped and have a good day
