A right triangle has legs of length 146 cm and 105 cm. What is the length of the hypotenuse of the right triangle? Enter the answer, rounded to the nearest tenth, in the box. cm​

Answer 1

179.8cm

Explanation:

Use the pythagorean theorem a^2+b^2=c^2

146^2+105^2=c^2

Square the numbers

21316+11025=c^2

Add

32341=c^2

Get the square root of the number on the left side

179.8=c

The hypotenuse's length is 179.8cm.
