Question

Please help lollllllllllllllllllll

Answer 1

A. 12.21

Explanation:

Define and explain:

This a right triangle, so the Pythagorean Theorem applies. The Pythagorean Theorem states that the sum of the squared legs is equal to the squared hypotenuse.

The legs of a triangle are the sides that form the right angle.

The hypotenuse is the longest side.

Formula:

`a^2+b^2=c^2`

`a,b-legs`

`c-legs`

Here, I am solving for the hypotenuse.

`7^2+10^2=c^2`

`49+100=c^2`

`149=c^2`

The last step is to find the square root of 149.

The square root of 149 is irrational, of course, so I must round the square root to the nearest hundredth.

`12.2065556157` ≈
`12.21.`

`12.21=c`

Conclude:

I, therefore, believe the length of the hypotenuse is 12.21.

Answer 2

The answer is a. 12.21

Because a^2+b^2=c^2
This would be leg^2+leg^2=hypotenuse^2

7^2+10^2=c^2
49+100=c^2
149=c^2
Cancel the square root by squaring 149 and that should equal about 12.21
