Question

Use the Pythagorean theorem to find the length of the hypotenuse in the triangle shown below.4,3

Answer 1

Answer:

5

Step-by-step explanation:

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

4^2 + 3^2 = c^2

16 + 9 = c^2

25 = c^2

c = 5

Answer 2

Answer:

5

Step-by-step explanation:

$Hypotenuse = ?\\Opposite = 4\\Adjacent = 3\\\\Pythagoras \: Theorem ;\\\\Hypotenuse^2 =Opposite^2+Adjacent ^2\\\\Hypotenuse^2 = 4^2 +3^2\\\\Hypotenuse^2 = 16+9\\\\Hypotenuse^2 = 25\\\\\sqrt{Hypotenuse^2}=\sqrt{25} \\Hypotenuse = 5$
