Question

What is the length of the hypotenuse x if (12,35,x) is a Pythagorean triple

Answer 1

I think the length of the hypotenuse is 37

Answer 2

Pythagorean Theorem: a^2 + b^2 = c^2, where c is the hypotenuse.

If x is the hypotenuse, you'd set it up like this:

12^2 + 35^2 = x^2
144 + 1225 = x^2
1369 = x^2
37 = x

The length of the hypotenuse is 37.

Hope this helps.
