Question

Find the length of the hypotenuse in the triangle below

Answer 1

The hypotenuse is 15. Please give Brainilest

Explanation:

Since it is a right triangle, it probably follows the Pythagorean theorem

basically saying two legs squared equal hypotenuse squared

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

In this case, if you know your Pythagorean theorem triples, then the

answer will be 9,12,15

If you don't let me explain

`9^2 = 81\\12^2 = 144\\15^2=225\\\\a^2+b^2=c^2\\9^2+12^2=15^2\\81+144=225\\`

This is correct

If you don't know how I got this, learn the first five or six Pythagorean theorem triples, and these will be a piece of cake for you. Remember this only works for right triangle though.
