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

Answer:
It's probably it
Step-by-step explanation:
A = (-4, -2)
B = (1, 6)
Imagine a new point (C) where they intersect (1, -2)
Now we can form a triangle, the distance between A and B will be the hypotenuse.
h² = 5² + 8²
h² = 25 + 64
h² = 89
h =
h = ~9.43...
h = 9
