What is the length of the hypotenuse of the triangle?


Triangle A B C. Side A C is 7 feet and side C B is 4 feet. Hypotenuse A B is unknown.

A. StartRoot 22 EndRoot ft
B. StartRoot 33 EndRoot ft
C. StartRoot 57 EndRoot ft
D. StartRoot 65 EndRoot ft

Respuesta :

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

Using Pythagoras' identity on the right triangle.

The square on the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares on the other 2 sides, that is

AB² = 7² + 4² = 49 + 16 = 65 ( take the square root of both sides )

AB = [tex]\sqrt{65}[/tex] → D

The length of the hypotenuse of the triangle is  [tex]\sqrt{65}[/tex] .

What is right angled triangle?

A right-angled triangle is a triangle, that has one of its interior angles equal to 90 degrees or any one angle is a right angle.

Given

Side AC = 7 feet

Side CB = 4 feet

To find unknown side AB in a right triangle

Using Pythagoras theorem on the right triangle.

The square on the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares on the other 2 sides, i.e.,

AB² = 7² + 4² = 49 + 16 = 65 ( take the square root of both sides )

AB = [tex]\sqrt{65}[/tex]

Hypotenuse AB is [tex]\sqrt{65}[/tex].

Hence, the length of the hypotenuse of the triangle is  [tex]\sqrt{65}[/tex] .
