Question

Find the length of the hypotenuse. The measure of the hypotenuse?

Answer 1

Answer & Step-by-step explanation:

First, we must know the Pythagorean Theorem.

a² + b² = c²

a = 24

b = 7

Now, let's plug in these numbers into the formula.

24² + 7² = c²

Simplify the exponents.

576 + 49 = c²

Add 576 and 49 together.

625 = c²

Square root the terms on both sides of the equation.

√625 = √c²

Simplify the square roots.

25 = c

The length of the hypotenuse is 25 units.

Answer 2

Since it's a right angled triangle

Hypotenuse = h

h² = 7²+24²

h= √49 + 576

h = √625

h= 25

Therefore hypotenuse is 25

Hope this helps.
