Question

The legs of a right triangle are 4 units and 7 units. What is the length of the hypotenuse?

square root 33 units
square root 65 units
33 units
65 units

Answer 1

Square root of 65 units

Explanation:

This is the correct answer

Answer 2

By applying Pythagoras theorem,we get

(hypotenuse)^2=(base)^2+(perpendicular)^2

=>(h)^2=(7)^2+(4)^2

=>(h)^2=49+16

=>(h)^2=65

=>h=√65

Therefore, option B is correct,i.e.,√65
