Question

A right triangle has legs measuring 18 in. and 26 in.

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is 100 in

Step-by-step explanation:

The pythagorean theorm states that, for any right triangle where a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse, a^2 + b^2 = c^2. So, we can substitute and solve.

18^2 + 26^ 2 = c^2

324 + 676 = c^2

1000=c^2

Square root of 1000 = c

100.0=c
