Question

In a right triangle the side c opposite the right angle is called the hypotenuse, and the other two sides a and b are

Answer 1

Answer:

The hypotenuse of the triangle measures 13 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the Pythagorean theorem states that in any right triangle the lengths of the three sides are related by the equation A ^ 2 + B ^ 2 = C ^ 2, to determine the length of the hypotenuse in a right thangle with legs 5 inches and 12 inches the following calculation should be performed:

5 ^ 2 + 12 ^ 2 = X ^ 2

25 + 144 = X ^ 2

√169 = X

13 = X

Therefore, the hypotenuse of the triangle measures 13 inches.
