Question

If the lengths of the legs of a right triangle are 3 and 10, what is the length of the hypotenuse?

Answer 1

10.4

Explanation:

Answer 2

a = √109 or 10.44

Explanation:

To find the hypotenuse we use Pythagoras theorem which is given by

a² = b² + c²

where a is the hypotenuse

So we have

a² = 10² + 3²

a² = 100 + 9

a² = 109

a = √109 or 10.44

Hope this helps you
