Answer: The correct answer is 18 inches

Explanation:

Using the Pythagorean Theorem:

c=
`√(a^2+b^2)`

c=
`√(10^2+15^2)`

c=18.02776

c= 18 inches

Answer 2

Answer: x=18 inches.

Explanation:

You can use the Pythagorean Theorem for help.

To find the length of the third side of a right triangle, you have to do

10 square + 15 square=x square.

100+225=x square

325=x square

x=
`√(325)`.

The nearest inch would be x= 18 inches.
