Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Using Pythagoras' identity in the right triangle
The square on the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares on the other 2 sides.
let h represent the hypotenuse, then
h² = 5² + (
)² = 25 + 2 = 27 ( take the square root of both sides )
h =
← exact value
I am not sure but in order to get the hypotenuse you have to do -
a (squared) plus b(squared) equals c(squared)
A(squared) is the square root of 2 squared which means the answer is most likely 2
B(squared) is just 5(squared) which is 25
C(squared) is the hypotenuse
so it is 2+25=c(squared)
27 = c(squared)
The square root of 27 is 5.196 rounded
