Question

We have a right triangle that has am 8 meter and 21 meter leg .Find the hypotenuse

Answer 1

Answer:

hypotenuse is 22.47 m

Step-by-step explanation:

The length of both legs of a right angle triangle are 8m and 21 m

We need to find the hypotenuse

To find hypotenuse we use Pythagorean theorem

Hypotenuse is AC  and other two legs are AB  and BC

$AC^2 = AB^2 + BC^2$

Hypotenuse ^2 = 8^2 + 21^2

hypotenuse = $\sqrt{8^2 + 21^2}$

= $\sqrt{64 + 441}$

= $\sqrt{505}$

= 22.47

So the length of the hypotenuse is 22.47 m
