Question

If the lengths of the legs of a right triangle are 3 and 5, what is the length of the hypotenuse?

Answer 1

• P=5
• B=3

Using Pythagorean theorem

$\\ \sf\longmapsto H^2=P^2+B^2$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto H^2=5^3+3^2$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto H^2=25+9$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto H^2=34$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto H=\sqrt{34}$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto H=5.22$
