Question

Help please abs thank you

Answer 1

`4√(5)` = 8.94

Explanation:

To solve this problem, use the Pythagorean theorem;

`a^(2) + b^(2) = c^(2)`

Where "a" and "b" are the legs of the right triangle ( the sides that are adjacent to the right angle of a right triangle), and "c" is the hypotenuse, the side that is opposite the right angle.

In the problem, the measure of each leg is given;

`a = 4, \\b = 8`

Now all one has to do is substitute these values into the formula and solve;

`a^(2) + b^(2) = c^(2)\\4^(2) + 8^(2) = c^(2)\\16 + 64 = c^(2)\\80 = c^(2)\\√(80) = c\\4√(5) = c`

Answer 2

Explanation:

Hypotenuse is 4 root 5
