Question

What is the length of the hypotenuse for Triangle A? Round to the nearest tenth

Answer 1

Answer:

$Hypotenuse=6.3$

Step-by-step explanation:

The hypotenuse of a right angled triangle can be find by using the Pythagorean Theorem: i.e

$Hypotenuse^2=Perpendicular^2+Base^2$

For, triangle 'A'

  $Perpendicular=6\\Base=2$

$Hypotrnuse^2=6^2+2^2\\\\Hypotenuse^2=36+4\\\\Hypotenuse^2=40\\\\Hypotenuse=\sqrt{40}$

As, $\sqrt{40}=6.33$

Therefore,  

  $Hypotenuse=6.3$
