Question

Find the length of the hypotenuse of the right triangle if the width is 60 and hight is 32

Answer 1

Answer:

The hypotenuse is 68

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the length of the hypotenuse of a a right angled triangle, we use the Pythagoras Theorem

c² = a² + b²

where c = hypotenuse, a = height, 32 and b = width, 60

Substitute the value 32 and 60 for a and b respectively in the above formula, and we will have

c² = 32² + 60²

c² =  1024 + 3600

c² = 4624

c = √4624

c = 68
