Answer:
Length of the hypotenuse = 23.43ft
Step-by-step explanation:
First leg = 15ft
Second leg = 18ft
Length of the hypotenuse = ?
In a right angle triangle,
Hypotenuse^2 = opposite^2 + Adjacent^2
Let first leg and second leg of the triangle be opposite and adjacent respectively
Hypotenuse^2 = opposite^2 + Adjacent^2
= 15^2 + 18^2
= 225 + 324
= 549
Hypotenuse^2 = 549
Find the square root of both sides
√Hypotenuse^2 = 549
Hypotenuse = 23.43ft to the nearest of a hundredth
Length of the hypotenuse = 23.43ft
