Question

Solve the expression using the order of operation: Find the hypotenuse of a right triangle if the legs are 8cm and 5cm by using the Pythagorean theorem: (leg^2 +leg^2=hypotenuse^2)
Round your answer to the nearest hundredth if necessary
Hypotenuse =. Cm


I got 89^2 but I don’t think I I did it correctly

Answer 1

${a}^{2} + {b}^{2} = {c}^{2} \\ {8}^{2} + {5}^{2} = {c}^{2} \\ 64 + 25 = {c}^{2} \\ 89 = {c}^{2} \\ \sqrt{89} = {c}^{2} \\ 9.4 = c$
