Question

5. Two sides of a right triangle are 8 inches and 12 inches. What is the length of the Hypotenuse​

Answer 1

Explanation:

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

where a and b are the legs of the triangle and c is the hypotenuse

so 8^2 + 12^2 = c^2

64 + 144 = c^2

208 = c^2

take the square root of both sides

c = 14.422

Answer 2

19.7ft

Explanation:

o^2+a^2=h^2

\dpi{100} h^{2}=(10ft)^{2} +(17ft)^{2}

h^2=100ft^2+289ft^2

h=389ft^2−−−−−√

→19.7ft
