Question

In the right triangle above a=2.7 and b=4.3. Find the value of c, rounded to the nearest tenth

Answer 1

5.1

Explanation:

Since there is no diagram provided here, we assume that c is the length of the hypotenuse, so we have ...

c² = a² +b² . . . . . . Pythagorean theorem

c² = 2.7² +4.3² = 25.78

c = √25.78 ≈ 5.0774

c ≈ 5.1
