Question

Part A is already answered Part B asks: What is the length of the hypotenuse?

Answer 1

Answer:

52

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the Pythagorean theorem

a^2+b^2 = c^2

20^2 + 48^2 = c^2

400 +2304=c^2

2704=c^2

Taking the square root of each side

sqrt(2704) = sqrt(c^2)

52 = c

Answer 2

Answer:

$hypotenuse^{2}$ = $altitude^{2}$ + $base^{2}$

$hyp^{2}$ = $48^{2}$ + $20^{2}$

       = 2304 + 400

       = 2704

∴$hyp$ = $\sqrt{2704}$

       = 52

hope this answer helps you....
