Question

The legs of a right triangle are 3 units and 5 units. What is the length of the hypotenuse? Round your answer to the nearest hundredth. 4.00 units 2.83 units 5.83 units 8.00 units

Answer 1

Answer:

5.83units

Step-by-step explanation:

from Pythagoras theorem;

a^2=b^2+c^2

where a is the hypotenuse,b is the opposite and c is the adjacent

b=3 and c=5

a^2=3^2+5^2

a^2=9+25

a^2=34

find the square root of both sides,

√a^2=√34

a=5.83units
