A right triangle has legs with lengths of 5 cm and 12 cm. Find the length of the hypotenuse. A. 7 cm B. 13 cm C. 17 cm D. 34 cm

Use pythagorean theorem :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

a2 + b2 = c2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[a ^{2}+b ^{2}=c ^{2}\] It gave you a and b, so plug those in and solve for c :)

I Know I Was Too Lazy Though

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol we all are

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so square 15 and 12

OpenStudy (anonymous):

*5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Do it in your head, lol. These are easy squares that you should be able to eventually do in your head.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

25+24=c

OpenStudy (anonymous):

..No? @emilyhaddad

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah opps:(

OpenStudy (anonymous):

144

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Two errors, First,:\[12^{2} = 144\] Second: it equals \[c ^{2}\], not C. You still have to square root what you solved to find C

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah lol sorry

OpenStudy (anonymous):
