Question

Find the length of the hypotenuse to the nearest tenth. (example 4.5) 7 2 

Answer 1

Answer:

hypotenuse = 7.3

Step-by-step explanation:

the length two legs of the given triangle are 7 and 2 respectively.

using pythagoras theorem

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

7^2 + 2^2 = c^2

49 + 4 = c^2

53 = c^2

$\sqrt{53}$ = c

7.3 = c
