Question

What is thr length of the hypotenuse of the triangle? 7cm 3 cm

Answer 1

Given the dimensions of the triangle:

Opposite = 7cm

Adjacent = 3cm

To find the length of the hypotenuse, let's use Pythagoras theorem:

`a^2+b^2=c^2`

Now we have:

`7^2+3^2=c^2`
`49+9=c^2`
`58=c^2`

Now take the square root of both sides:

`\sqrt{58\text{ }}\text{ = }√(c^2)`
`\text{ }\sqrt{58\text{ }}\text{ = c}`

The length of the hypotenuse is √58 cm
