what is the length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle shown? Round your number to the nearest tenth if necessary

Right triangle....length of 2 legs known and hypotenuse needed....Pythagorean Theorem.. \[\large a^2 + b^2 = c^2\] \(\large a \space \space \text{and} \space \space b \) are the 2 legs you know and \(\large c\) is the length of the hypotenuse...so you can plug in your numbers and solve for 'c' So here \[\large 6^2 + 11^2 = c^2\] \[\large c = \sqrt{11^2 + 6^2}\]

so it would be 157.0 :D ??

OpenStudy (johnweldon1993):

Don't forget to square root the number \[\large \sqrt{157} = \space? \]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2 ? :o

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wait 12.52 ?

OpenStudy (johnweldon1993):

Hmm well round up 12.53 :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):
