Question

A right triangle has legs of length 136 cm and 119 cm. What is the length of the hypotenuse of the right triangle? Enter the answer, rounded to the nearest tenth, in the box. ​

Answer 1

Hypotenuse= 180.7 cm

Explanation:

Using Pythagoras' theorem:

a^2+b^2=c^2 (let c= Hypotenuse "H")

(136)^2 + (119)^2 = H^2

18496+14161 =H^2

H^2= 32657

Taking square root on both sides

`√(H)`=
`√(32657)`

H=180.7
