Question

Find the length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle and both legs have a length of 6

Answer 1

A = short leg
B= short leg
C= hypotenuse

A^2+B^2=C^2
So that means 6^2+6^2=C^2
36+36=C^2
72=C^2
C≈ 8.485

Answer 2

6
`√(2)`

Explanation:

a^2+b^2=c^2

6^2+6^2=c^2

36+36=c^2

72=c^2

square root 72 is the hypotenuse

Or simplified 6
`√(2)`

Or decimal form 8.48528137424

Rounded 8.49
