Question

Find the length of the hypotenuse of this right triangle. Give an exact answer.

Answer 1

\[c ^{2}=a ^{2}+b ^{2}\]

Answer 2

Right triangle leads to pythagorean theorem

A² + B² = C²
where C² is the hypotenuse.

So we have both A and B so set it up like:

5² + 8² = C²
or

C = √(5² + 8²)

Answer 3

thanks guys
