Question

What is the length of the hypotenuse

Answer 1

Answer:

20

Step-by-step explanation:

To find Hypotenuse: Pythagorean Theroem

a^2+ b^2= c^2

The legs are A and B

The side that is directly across from the Right angle is C

12^2 + 16^2 =C^2

144+256=400

400 = c^2

Square root on both sides to get rid of c^2

The square root of 400 is 20

c=20

Answer 2

Answer:

20 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

c =  (a² + b²)

c=  (12^2 + 16^2)

c= square root (400)

c= 20
