Answer:

Your answer is 8.06.

Explanation:

Since you're finding the hypotenuse of the triangle through Pythagorean theorem, you need to use the formula:

a² + b² = c²

Here, you have to remember that x is the same as c in the formula. c is the hypotenuse and x.

a is going to be your smallest leg, so in this case a = 4.

b is going to be your longest leg, so it is b = 7.

Now, you don't know what c yet is so you simply write it as:

4² + 7² = c²

Do the exponents.

16 + 49 = c²

Add.

65 = c²

Now you need to get the exponent away from the c. To do that, all you have to do is square root both sides.

√65 = √c2

Once you do that, you have your answer!

8.0622577483 = c

Now just simplify and you're done :)

8.06

Might sound hard now but you'll get the hang of it.
