Astronomers were trying to find the weight of six planets - Mars, Venus, Pluto, Jupiter, Mercury and Saturn. The number of planets lighter than Mars was equal to the number of planets heavier than Venus. Saturn was heavier than Mars and Mercury was heavier than Pluto. Venus was lighter than Mars. Saturn was not the heaviest planet.
We are given a right triangle and we are asked to determine the hypotenuse given the measure of its sides. To do that we will use the Pythagorean theorem:
Now, we solve the square:
Now, we add the values:
Now, we take the square root to both sides:
Solving the operations:
Therefore, the length of the hypotenuse is 22.361 kilometers.
