How does the length of the hypotenuse in a right triangle compare to the lengths of the legs?
2 answers:
we know that
In a right triangle we have
two legs and one hypotenuse
Let
a,b -----> the legs of the right triangle
c-----> the hypotenuse of the right triangle (the greater side)
Applying the Pythagoras Theorem
therefore
<u>the answer is</u>
The length of the hypotenuse squared is the length of one leg squared plus the length of another leg squared

let us take any two points here (5,20) and (7,30)
now let us use slope formula to get its slope
slope =5
now let us use one coordinate (say (5,20)) and slope to get the y intercept
20= 5*5 +b
b=-5
plugging the values of b and m in the given equation we get
y=5x-5
or c=5m-5
