Question

Need help on question please!!

Answer 1

you'd use the pythagorean theorem.

a^2+b^2=c^2

a is the first leg, b is the second leg, and c is the third leg.

10^2+13^2=c^2

100+169=c^2

269=c^2

take the square root of both sides

16.4=c

16.4cm is your answer!

Answer 2

Hello!

The answer is: the hypotenuse length is 16.4 cm.

Why?

Since it's a right triangle, we can use the pythagorean theorem to find the length of the hypotenuse.

The Pythagorean Theorem states that:

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

Where:

$c=hypotenuse\\a=TriangleSide/Leg=10cm\\b=TriangleSide/Leg=13cm$

So, the calculating we have:

$hypotenuse=\sqrt{10cm^{2}+13cm^{2}}$

$hypotenuse=\sqrt{100cm+169cm}$

$hypotenuse=\sqrt{269cm}$

$hypotenuse=16.4cm$

Hence, the hypotenuse length is 16.4 cm.

Have a nice day!
