Question

A student is asked to find the length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle. The length of one leg is 34

Answer 1

Answer:

41.6 centimeters

Step-by-step explanation:

The right triangle formula: c^2 = a^2 + b^2

                                  c is the hypotenuse side of the triangle

                                  a and b are the legs of the triangle.    

 Find the hypotenuse :   c^2 = (24)^2 + (34)^2

                                          c = square root of (  (24)^2 + (34)^2)

                                          c = square root of ( 576 + 1,156)

                                          c = 41.6173
