Question

A right triangle has legs of lengths 14 and 16 inches. Find the length of

Answer 1

Answer:

about 21.3

Step-by-step explanation:

I found the hypotenuse value by doing the Pythagorean theorem.

a^2+b^2=c^2.

"a" and "b" are the values of the legs, and "c" is the value of the hypotenuse. So, "a" is 14 and "b" is 16.

14^2+16^2=c^2

196+256=452.

Now, I found the square root of 452. The square root of 452 is 21.26029163. This value rounded to the nearest tenth is 21.3.

In conclusion, the length of the hypotenuse rounded to the nearest tenth is 21.3 inches.
