Question

The lengths of the legs of a right triangle are 4.5 inches and 6 inches.

Answer 1

Answer:

$\huge\boxed{\sf H = 7.5\ inches}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let,

Base = 4.5 inches

Perpendicular = 6 inches

We can find the hypotenuse by Pythgoras theorem.

$\sf (Hypotenuse)^2=(Base)^2+(Perpendicular)^2$

Put the given values

(H)² = (4.5)² + (6)²

(H)² = 20.25 + 36

(H)² = 56.25

Take sqrt on both sides

H = √56.25

H = 7.5 inches

$\rule[225]{225}{2}$

Answer 2

7.5
