Answer:
Explanation:
According to the pythagorean theorem, the formula for the right angle hypotenuse is c² = a²+ b². The values we have here are 28 and 32, which can be substituted into the a and b, giving you c² = 28² + 32². We can substitute the variable c with x just so you don't get confused. This leaves you with x² = 28² + 32². 28 x 28 is 784 and 32 x 32 is 1024, which gives you x² = 784 + 1024. 784 plus 1024 is 1808, so you now have x² = 1808. You must simplify further by doing the square root of 1808, which is
, so you now have x =
. Therefore, the hypotenuse's length is
.
