Question

One of the legs of a right triangle measures 11 cm and the other leg measures 14 cm.

Find the measure of the hypotenuse. If necessary, round to the nearest tenth.

Answer 1

∴ The measure of the hypotenuse is 20cm (to the nearest tenth).

Explanation:

Let the length of the hypotenuse be x cm.

x² = 11² + 14²

∴ x = 20cm (to the nearest tenth)
