Question

Please answer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You built braces in the shape of a right triangle to hold your surfboard. The leg(brace) attached ot the wall is 10 inches and your surfboard sits on a leg that is 24 inches. What is the length of the hypotenuse (c) that completes the right triangle?

Answer 1

The length of the hypotenuse is 26 inches

Explanation:

The leg(brace) attached to the wall is 10 inches

Perpendicular = 10 inches

Your surfboard sits on a leg that is 24 inches.

Base = 24 inches

Formula :

Hypotenuse = 26

Hence the length of the hypotenuse is 26 inches

Answer 2

The length of the hypotenuse is 26 inches

Explanation:

The leg(brace) attached to the wall is 10 inches

Perpendicular = 10 inches

Your surfboard sits on a leg that is 24 inches.

Base = 24 inches

Formula :
`Hypotenuse^2 = Perpendicular^2 +Base^2`

`Hypotenuse^2 = 10^2+24^2`

`Hypotenuse = √(10^2+24^2)`

Hypotenuse = 26

Hence the length of the hypotenuse is 26 inches
