Consider the right triangle. A right triangles with side lengths 28 meters and 45 meters. The hypotenuse is unknown. What is the length of the hypotenuse StartRoot 53 EndRoot StartRoot 1,241 EndRoot 53 m 2809 m
The get the answer do as follows: 1) a^2 + b^2 = c^2 2) your a=28 & b=45 3) 28^2=784 and 45^2=2,025 4) 748+2,025= 2,773 5) now you have 2,773= c^2 [solve for c by square rooting both sides] 6) the square root of 2,773 is approximately 52.6
