Question

What is the length of the hypotenuse in a right triangle if the legs are 50 and 120

Answer 1

Good evening

Answer:

130

Explanation:

let L represent the length of the hypotenuse :

Since we are in a right triangle case then the Pyth theorem is a valid choice to solve the problem :

the Pythagoren theorem states that :

L² = 50^2+120^2

then

L² = 16 900

then

L = √(16 900)

=130
