Question

a flower bed in corner of a lot is a right triangle. the legs are each 6ft.. what's the length of the hypotenuse. round 1 decimal place

Answer 1

`h\approx8.49`

Step-by-step explanation: We have a right triangle with two legs that are each 6ft in length, we need to find the hypotenuse of this right triangle, It is done as follows with Pythagorean theorem:

`\begin{gathered} a^2+b^2=c^2^{} \\ \therefore\rightarrow \\ 6^2+6^2=h^2\rightarrow h=\sqrt[]{6^2+6^2}=\sqrt[]{72}\approx8.49 \\ \therefore\rightarrow \\ h=8.49 \end{gathered}`

Therefore again, the hypotenuse is h = 8.49
