Question

One of the legs of a right triangle measures 2 cm and the other leg measures 7 cm. Find the measure of the hypotenuse. If necessary, round to the nearest tenth.​

Answer 1

7.3

Explanation:

a = 2

b = 7

we can use the Pythagorean Theorem

c^2 = a^2 + b^2

c^2 = 4+49

c^2 = 53

c = sqrt(53)

c = 7.3
