Question

Find the hypotenuse of a right triangle that has a 13cm leg and a height of 7cm

Answer 1

14.76 cm

Explanation:

Use the pythagorean theorem:

a² + b² = c²

Plug in the side lengths and solve for c:

7² + 13² = c²

49 + 169 = c²

218 = c²

14.76 = c

So, the hypotenuse is approximately 14.76 cm
