Question

Whatvis the length of the hypotenuse3mm 4mm

Answer 1

Answer : x = 5

We are given two lengths of a right angle traingle

`\begin{gathered} \text{Let the hypotenus be x} \\ \text{Opposite = 3mm} \\ \text{Adjacent = 4mm} \\ Apply\text{ pythagora's theorem} \\ \text{Hypotenus}^2=opposite^2+adjacent^2 \\ x^2=3^2+4^2 \\ x^2\text{ = 9 + 16} \\ x^2\text{ = 25} \\ \text{Take the squareroots of both sides} \\ x\text{ = }\sqrt[]{25} \\ x\text{ = 5} \end{gathered}`
