Question

What is the length of the hypotenuse?

Answer 1

Answer:

c = 85 yards.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since this is a right triangle, we can use Pythagorean Theorem to solve for c.

$a^2+b^2=c^2\\51^2+68^2=c^2\\2601+4624=c^2\\7225=c^2\\\sqrt{7225}=c\\85=c$

Answer 2

Answer:

85 yd

Step-by-step explanation:

As this is a right triangle, we can use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the length of the hypotenuse:

(51 yd)^2 + (68 yd)^2 = c^2, or:

(2601 + 4624) = c^2 = 7225

Then the length of the hypotenuse, c, is √7225 yd = 85 yd
