Answer 2

a hypotenuse is the longest side of a right angle triangle, a common formula used to find it is the pythegorus theorem where the hypotenuse is labelled "c" other sides "a" and "b". The formula is \[a ^{2}+b ^{2}=c ^{2}\]

Answer 3

It's the side opposite the right angle in a right triangle.

Answer 4

ok so if the legs of a right triangle ae 33 ft. squared and 56 ft. squared the lenght of the hypotenuse is 4225 ft. squared right?

Answer 5

The hypotenuse is the square root of 4225 ft.

Answer 6

33^2 + 56^2 = 65^2
So hypotenuse is 65 ft.
