Question

What is the length, in units, of the hypotenuse of a right triangle if each of the two legs is 3 units? (5 points)

Square root of 18 units
Square root of 27 units
3 units
6 units

Answer 1

So since the legs are 3 units each, add them up.

So 3+3 is...

Answer 2

6

Answer 3

Yes, so the hypotenuse is 6 units.

Answer 4

that is the answer 6?

Answer 5

Yes, 6.

Answer 6

ohhh thank you!

Answer 7

Mhm, you're welcome.

Answer 8

no

Answer 9

use the pythagorean theorem \(a^2 +b^2=c^2\)

the two legs are a and b, hypotenuse is c

replace the variables:
\(3^2+3^2=c^2\\18=c^2\\c=\sqrt{18}\)
