Question

PLEASE HELP!!! I WILL RATE YOU 5 STARS IF CORRECT!!!!

In a right triangle the lengths of the legs are a and b. Find the length of a hypotenuse c, if: a=1, b=1;

Answer 1

I believe by using

`a ^(2) + b ^(2) = c ^(2) \: \: \: \: \: you \: will \: plug \: in \: 1 \: for \: a \: and \: b \: then \: find \: the \: square \: root \\`you will plug in 1 for A and B then you will find the square root of the number you get after you square A and B and add them together. then you should have your answer

Answer 2

c=√2

Explanation:

Use the Pythagorean theorem:

• 
  `a^(2) +b^(2) =c^(2)`

• 
  `1^(2) +1^(2) =c^(2)`
• c=√2
