One of the legs of a right triangle measures 12 cm and the other leg measures 13 cm find the measure of the hypotenuse if necessary round the nearest 10th
To find the Hypotenuse of a right angle triangle, we solve using Pythagoras Theorem
Hypotenuse ² = Opposite ² + Adjacent ²
Hypotenuse = √Opposite ² + Adjacent ²
Opposite = 12 cm
Adjacent = 13 cm
Hence,
Hypotenuse = √12² + 13²
= √144 + 169
= 17.691806013 cm
Approximately = 17.7 cm
Therefore, the measure of the Hypotenuse is 17.7 cm
John brought 20 water melons each water melon cost him 2 dollars. He gave his friend Bob 3/4 of the watermelons. In return bob gave him double the amount of water melons back. How many watermelons does John have now? How much money did he spend on each water melon?
