Question

One leg of a right triangle measures 10 inches while the other leg measure square root of 21 inches. What is the length of its hypotenuse?

Answer 1

10^2+√21^2= 100+21= 121

square root of 121= 11

Answer is 11 inches

Explanation:

Answer 2

11 inches

Explanation:

hypotenuse² = leg₁² + leg₂²

=10² + (√21)²

= 100 + 21

= 121

Hypotenuse = √ 121 = √11*11 = 11 inches
