Question

1. If the length of the legs of a right triangle are 5

and 7, what is the length of the hypotenuse?
Express your answer to the nearest tenth

Answer 1

The length of the hypotenuse is ≈ 8.6
a^2 + b^2 = c^2 or (a x a) + (b x b) = (c x c)
5^2 = 5 x 5 = 25
7^2 = 7 x 7 = 49
25 + 49 = 74
√74 = 8.602 ≈ 8.6
