Answer:
hypotenuse = 17.46
Explanation:
The Pythagorean Theorem is a^2+b^2=c^2.
Since we are finding the hypotenuse, we must plug in 16 and 7 since they represent the lengths of both side.
16^2+7^2=c^2
256+49=c^2
305=c^2
which means we have to find the square root of c^2 AND 305, round it to the nearest hundredth, which means that;
c=17.46
