Question

The area of a right triangle is 270 square meters. The height of the right triangle is 15 meters. What is the length of the hypotenuse of the right triangle?

Answer 1

It is what the guy In from of me said

Answer 2

`√(549)` ≈ 23.4

Explanation:

A = bh

270 = 15b

b = 18

Now you know the two legs, use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the value of the hypotenuse: a² + b² = c²

15² + 18² = c²

225 + 324 = c²

c² = 549

c = √549
