Question

C
f
33 mi
44 mi
What is the length of the hypotenuse?
C =
miles

Answer 1

The hypotenuse is 55 miles

Explanation:

Given the sides of a right angle triangle as 33 and 44 miles, we want to get the hypotenuse

Mathematically, by Pythagoras’ theorem, the hypotenuse square is the sum of the squares of the other two sides

So we have;

h^2 = 33^2 + 44^2

h^2 = 3025

h = √3025

h =55 miles
