Question

Part A is already answered

Part B asks: What is the length of the hypotenuse?

Answer 1

`hypotenuse^(2)` =
`altitude^(2)` +
`base^(2)`

`hyp^(2)` =
`48^(2)` +
`20^(2)`

= 2304 + 400

= 2704

∴
`hyp` =
`√(2704)`

= 52

hope this answer helps you....

Answer 2

52

Explanation:

Using the Pythagorean theorem

a^2+b^2 = c^2

20^2 + 48^2 = c^2

400 +2304=c^2

2704=c^2

Taking the square root of each side

sqrt(2704) = sqrt(c^2)

52 = c
