Question

The legs of a right triangle measure 15 and 20. What is the length of the hypotenuse?

25
35
13
10

Answer 1

\(\sf a^2 + b^2 = c^2\)

Use the Pythagorean Theorem.

Where 'a' and 'b' are the two legs of the right triangle and 'c' is the hypotenuse.

Answer 2

Plug them in and solve for 'c', can you do that? @Jadak

Answer 3

Yep..

or

\(\sf c = \sqrt{16^2+20^2}\)

Answer 4

it would be 15^2 not 16^2 lol

Answer 5

20 to the power of 2
is 400 +15^2 square root ,
= 400+225 square root
= 625 square root
= 25 square root or 25
