Question

Find the missing hypotenuse of a right triangle if the length of one leg is 29 and the other leg is 11.

Write your answer as a square root

Answer 1

The formula for finding the hypotenuse is L^2 + L^2 = H^2
Since we have both leg measurements, this should be pretty simple. First let's fit it into the formula. 29^2 + 11^2 = H^2.
841 + 121 = H^2.
962 = H^2
√962 = 31.
Hope that helps! :)
