It’s negativeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
To solve this problem, we need to use the Pythagorean Theorem, which states that a^2 + b^2 must equal c^2. "a" is the length of one of the legs (shorter sides of the triangle) and "b" is the length of the other leg. "c" is the length of the hypotenuse.
a = y = 36.25cm
b = x = 20.93cm
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
(36.25)^2 + (20.93)^2 = c^2
1314.0625 + 438.0649 = c^2
√1752.1274 = √c^2
c = 41.8584209 ≈ 41.86
So your final answer is...
The length of the hypotenuse is about 41.86 cm.
You don't need to start with the greater number. Either order of numbers will work because addition had a communitive property, meaning it can be added in any order to get the same answer.
