Question

In a right triangle , the leg lengths are 4 in and 4.5 in. what is the length of the hypotenuse?

Answer 1

Answer:
`c = (√(145) )/(2)`

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the hypothenuse is
`c^(2) = a^(2) +b^(2)`

In this case a = 4in and b = 4.5in

therefore
`c =\sqrt{(4.5in)^(2) +(4in)^(2) }`
