Question

How do you answer this

Answer 1

Answer: 15.52

Explanation:

The Pythagorean Theorem is
`a^(2)+b^(2)=c^(2)` so you insert the values of the legs into it.

A and B are the lengths of the legs.

C is the longest side in the right triangle, or the hypotenuse.

`4^(2) +15^(2) =c^(2)`

`16+225=c^(2)`

`241=c^(2)`

`√(241)=\sqrt{c^(2) }`

15.52 ≈ c
