Question

The legs of a right triangle are 5m and 12m long. What is the length of the hypotenuse? Explain how you found your answer.

Answer 1

According to Pythagorean Theorem, the hypo square = the sum of the legs' squares. So, hypo square = (5^2) + (12^2) , hypo square = 25 + 144 = 169. Therefore the hypo is the square root of 169, which is 13.
