Question

The lengths of the legs of a right triangle area...

Answer 1

Answer: Length of the hypotenuse to the nearest tenth = 11.7

Step by step solution:

The Pythagorean theorem states that the sum of the areas of the two squares on the legs (6 and 10) is equal to the area of the square on the hypotenuse (h).

`h^2=6^2+10^2`
`\begin{gathered} h^2=36+100 \\ h=\sqrt[]{136}=2\sqrt[]{34}\approx11.7 \end{gathered}`
