Question

Сa = 2 inb = 2 inWhat is the length of the hypotenuse?c =inches

Answer 1

Let's begin by listing out the given information:

`\begin{gathered} a=2in,b=2in,c=\text{?} \\ \text{Pythagora}s\text{ Theorem states that:} \\ c^2=a^2+b^2 \\ c^2=2^2+2^2 \\ c^2=4+4=8 \\ c=\sqrt[]{8}=2\sqrt[]{2} \\ c=2\sqrt[]{2}in \end{gathered}`
