Question

If in a right triangle, the given legs are a = 10 and b=16, then by using the Pythagorean Theorem find the hypotenuse, c.

Answer 1

Answer:

$c=2\sqrt{89}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Pythagorean theorem is:

$c^{2} =a^{2} +b^{2}$

$c^{2}=10^{2}+16^{2} \\c^{2} =100+256\\c^{2}=356\\c=\sqrt{356} \\c=2\sqrt{89}$
