Question

What is the length of the hypotenuse? If necessary, round to the nearest tenth.

Answer 1

c = 68 m

Explanation:

Pythagorean theorem:

To find the hypotenuse 'c' use Pythagorean theorem

hypotenuse² = base ² + altitude²

c² = 60² + 32²

= 3600 + 1024

= 4624

`\sf c=√(4624)\\\\ c= √(2*2*2*2*17*17)=2*2*17\\\\\boxed{\bf c = 68 \ m }`
