Answer 1

Answer:

The hypotenuse to the nearest tenth is 8.1

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the Pythagorean theorem to solve

a^2 + b^2 = c^2 where a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse

Let a be the x leg and b be the y leg

a = 7 units

b= 4 units

7^2 + 4^2 = c^2

49+ 16 = c^2

65 = c^2

Take the square root of each side

sqrt(65) = sqrt(c^2)

8.062257748 =c

To the nearest tenth

8.1 =c
