Question

Does this triangle have a hypotenuse about 39 feet long

Answer 1

No, the Hypotenuse is 33.11

Explanation:

The formula for finding a hypotenuse is:

`√(x^2+y^2)`

x=30 and y=14 here

`x^2=900`

`y^2=196`

`x^2+y^2= 1,096`

`√(1,096) = 33.11`

So it would be about 33, not 39

Answer 2

hypotenuse is about 33 ft long

Explanation:

a^2+b^2=c^2

a= 30

b=14

30^2+14^2= 1096 =c^2

`√(1096)`=c

33.1=c

hypotenuse is about 33 ft long
