Question

A right triangle has legs which measure 14 inches and 18 inches. Find the length of the

hypotenuse.

answers:
13 inches
25 inches
32 inches
22.8 inches

Answer 1

22.8 Inches

Explanation:

To find the hypotenuse, the formula is √c=√a^2+b^2

Lets input our values now:

c=√14^2+18^2

Now, let's solve:

c=√196+324

c=√520

The square root of 520 equals about 22.8, so our answer would be 22.8 inches.
