Question

Find the length of the hypotenuse in the following right triangle. An image shows a right triangle ABC. Sides A and B form the right angle. Side A is equal to 7. Side B is equal to 24. Side C is the hypotenuse.

Answer 1

25

Explanation:

h²= p²+ b²

h²= (7)² + (24)²

h²= 49 + 576 ( eg: 7²= 7×7= 49)

h²= 625

h = root under ( 625)

h = 25.

Therefore, side c or the hypotenuse of the right angled triangle is 25.
