Answer:
hypotenuse = 7.3
Step-by-step explanation:
the length two legs of the given triangle are 7 and 2 respectively.
using pythagoras theorem
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
7^2 + 2^2 = c^2
49 + 4 = c^2
53 = c^2
= c
7.3 = c
47.05 is the anwser.

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the width of the rectangle = x
As length is 5 inches longer than width, we have to add 5 to width
Length = x + 5
Perimeter of ractangle = 56 in
2* (length + width) = 56
2*( x + 5 + x) = 56
2* (2x + 5) = 56
Use distributive property: a*(b +c) =(a*b) + (a * c)
2*2x + 2*5 = 56
4x + 10 = 56
Subtract 10 from both sides
4x = 56- 10
4x = 46
Divide both sides by 4
x = 46/4
x = 11.5
Width = 11.5 in
length = 11.5 + 5
= 16.5 in
In order to form a triangle, the third side must be at least greater than the difference of the other two sides
4 - 3 = 1 So the third side must be greater than 1 foot and the third side must be less than the sum of the other two sides
4 + 3 = 7 So, the third side must be less than 7
1 < third side < 7
