Question

Consider triangle QRS. The legs each have a length of 10 units. What is the length of the hypotenuse of the triangle?

Answer 1

14.14

Explanation:

10^2+10^2=x^2

x=square root 200

Answer 2

Answer: 10√2 units or 14.14 units

Solution,

Hypotenuse=?

Perpendicular=10 units

Base=10 units

Using the Pythagoras theorem,

H^2=p^2+b^2

or,h^2= (10)^2+(10)^2

or,h^2=100+100

or,h^2=200

or,h=√200

h=10√2 or 14.14

Hope it helps..
