Answer:
The length of the hypotenuse is 7.6 units
Explanation:
The labelled diagram of the right triangle is shown below. Each small square represents 1 unit
From the right triangle above,
hypotenuse = h
one leg = 3
other leg = 7
We would apply the Pythagorean theorem which is expressed as
hypotenuse^2 = one leg^2 + other leg^2
h^2 = 3^2 + 7^2 = 9 + 49
h^2 = 58
h = √58
h = 7.6
The length of the hypotenuse is 7.6 units
