Question

Find the length of the unknown side (hypotenuse). Round to three decimal places if necessary.

Leg = 2 m, leg = 8m

Answer 1

Show steps please and thank you! :)

Answer 2

use pythagorean theorem
a^2 + b^2 = C^2
2^2 + 8^2 = c^2
4+64 = c^2
68 = c^2
Then sqrt room each side
c = 2 times the sqrt of 17

Answer 3

Where did 17 come from??

Answer 4

well, i did factor trees, and if you start at teh top, its 68, which breaks into 2* 34, which breaks into 2*17....you keeep two, and 17..which makes two times the sqrt of 17

Answer 5

I am so confused. Lol
