Question

What is the length of the hypotenuse of the triangle

Answer 1

Answer: i think the answers D.

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

The correct option is 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the Pythagoras theorem, the sum of squares of two legs of a triangle is equal to the square of the hypotenuse of the triangle.

$(hypotenuse)^2=(leg_1)^2+(leg_2)^2$

From the given figure it is clear that the length of one leg is 4 ft and the length of second leg is 7 ft.

Using Pythagoras theorem, we get

$(hypotenuse)^2=(4)^2+(7)^2$

$(hypotenuse)^2=16+49$

$(hypotenuse)^2=65$

Taking square root both the sides.

$hypotenuse=\sqrt{65}$

The length of the hypotenuse is √(65) ft . Therefore the correct option is 4.
