Find the hypotenuse of a right triangle given the legs 10 cm and 24 cm.

A.) 6.4 cm
B.) 26 cm
C.) 21.8 cm
D.) 18 cm

Answer 1

Explanation:

We know that in aright triangle the hypothenuse , c, is equal to

c^2=a^2+b^2, where a and b are the legs

in our case,

c^2=10^2+24^2

c^2=100+576=676

c=
`√(676)`=26

choice B
