Question

What is the length of the hypotenuse

Answer 1

45 inches

Explanation:

Since this is a right triangle, we can use Pythagorean theorem

a^2 + b^2 = c^2 where a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse

36^2 + 27^2 = c^2

1296+729= c^2

2025 = c^2

Take the square root of each side

sqrt(2025) = sqrt(c^2)

45 = c

Answer 2

c=45

Explanation:

36^2+27^2=c2

1296+729=c2

2095=c2

Then square root it to get

c=45
