Question

What is the hypotenuse if the base is 3 and the length is 3

Answer 1

`3√(2)`

Explanation:

Triangles which have two legs and a hypotenuse are called right triangles. Right triangles have a special relationship between their sides called the Pythagorean Theorem. If a = 3 and b= 3, then find c using the Pythagorean theorem below.

`a^2+b^2=c^2\\3^2+3^2 = c^2\\9+9=c^2\\18 = c^2\\c=√(18) =3√(2)`
