Answer:
Length of hypotenuse = √( a² + b²)
Step-by-step explanation:
The question is incomplete and unclear. From the question, it is clear we are to determine the hypotenuse of the triangle. Hence the triangle is a right angled triangle.
Find attached the diagram used in solving the question.
From the diagram,
a = opposite
b = adjacent
c = hypotenuse
To find the hypotenuse of a right angled triangle, we apply Pythagoras theorem.
Using Pythagoras theorem
Hypotenuse² = opposite ² + adjacent²
Insert the values of each, we have:
c² = a² + b²
Then we find the Square root both sides
c = √( a² + b²)
So we can insert the values of a and b if we are given.
For instance, if b = 6
c = √( a² + 6²)
Using the diagram,
Hypotenuse: c = √( a² + b²)
