Question

If the lengths of the legs of a right triangle are 3 and 5, what is the length of the hypotenuse?

Answer 1

• P=5
• B=3

Using Pythagorean theorem

`\\ \sf\longmapsto H^2=P^2+B^2`

`\\ \sf\longmapsto H^2=5^3+3^2`

`\\ \sf\longmapsto H^2=25+9`

`\\ \sf\longmapsto H^2=34`

`\\ \sf\longmapsto H=√(34)`

`\\ \sf\longmapsto H=5.22`
