Question

Find the missing length of the right triangle when "a" and "b" represent leg length and "c" represents the length of the hypotenuse. If necessary , round to the nearest tenths a=7 b=25

Answer 1

Explanation:

By Pythagoras' Theorem, a² + b² = c².

Substituting the values of a and b, we get:

7² + 25² = c²

49 + 625 = c²

c² = 674

c ≈ 26.0 (to 1 d.p.)
