Question

Which is the length of the hypotenuse of the right triangle? Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a centimeter.


Hint: Pythagorean Theorem: a^2+ b^2 = c^2

Answer 1

Answer:

Length of hypotenuse of given triangle

= sqrt(356)   (exact value)

= 18.87 (to 2 decimal places)

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the pythagorean Theorem,

The hypotenuse

c = sqrt(a^2+b^2)

= sqrt(16^2+10^2)

= sqrt(356)   (exact value)

= 18.87 (to 2 decimal places)

Answer 2

Answer:

10^2 are 100,

16^2 are 256.

100 + 256 are 356.

so, sqrt(356) are nearly 18.
