Question

What would the hypotenuse have to be if the legs of a right triangle are 9 and 5?

Answer 1

10.3

Explanation:

Let's say

a leg = 9

b leg = 5

The formula to find the hypotenuse is
`\sqrt{a^(2)+b^(2) } = \sqrt{9^(2) +5^(2) } = √(81+25) = √(106) = 10.246\\`

Round
`10.246` to get
`10.3`
