Vicki sketches a right triangle with legs of lengths x and y and a hypotenuse of length z. She writes an equation that
relates x, y, and z. Then, she writes an expression for the length of the hypotenuse. Which expression does she write?
x² + y²
C
x? + 22
/xty

Answer 1

sqrt(x^2+y^2)

Explanation:

x^2+y^2=z^2 (Pythagorean theorem)

sqrt(x^2+y^2)=sqrt(z^2)

sqrt(x^2+y^2)=z
