Question

In a right triangle, a and b are the lengths of the legs and c is the length of the hypotenuse.

=
If a = 7.7 centimeters and b 2.8 centimeters, what is c? If necessary, round to the nearest
tenth.

Answer 1

c=8 to the nearest cm

Explanation:

c²=a²+b²

where c=Hypotenuse,b=Opposite,a=Adjacent

c²=2.8²+7.7²

c²=7.84+59.29

c²=63.17

c=√63.17

c=7.9

c=8 to the nearest cm
