Question

One of the legs of a right triangle measures 13 cm and the other leg measures 7 cm. Find the measure of the hypotenuse. If necessary, round to the nearest tenth.

Answer 1

Answer:14.8

Step-by-step:
Use the equation a^2+b^2=c^2
Plug in 13 for a and 7 for b
13^2+7^2=c^2
Multiply the number by themselves
13•13+7•7=c^2
169+49=c^2
218=c^2
Square root both side
14.76=c
Round the nearest tenth
14.8
