Answer:18.87

Explanation:

to find the hypotenuse of a triangle, A^2 + B^2 = C^2 if A and B are sides and C is the Hypotenuse. 100 + 256 is 356, so C^2 is 356. to find C, we square root both sides. thus C^2 becomes C, and 356 becomes the square root of 356, which is 18.8679623... and rounded to the nearest 10th of a centimeter that's 18.87

Hope this helps!
