Question

Find the exact length of the third side.
68
51

Answer 1

Answer:

The value of c is:

• c=85 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the right-angled triangle

• a=68

• b=51

And we have to determine the value of the hypotenuse 'c'.

c=?

Pythagorean Theorem:

For a right-angled triangle with sides a and b the hypotenuse c

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

$a=68$

$b=51$

$c=\sqrt{68^2+51^2}$

$c=85$ units

Thus, the value of c is:

c=85 units
