Question

Examine the right triangle. A right triangle with side lengths 17 centimeters and 48 centimeters. The hypotenuse is unknown. What is the length of the hypotenuse in the right triangle? StartRoot 2,593 EndRoot 60 cm StartRoot 4,225 EndRoot 65 cm

Answer 1

A is the correct answer

Explanation:

Answer 2

The answer to your question is c =
`√(2593)`

Explanation:

Data

right triangle

short leg = 17 cm

long leg = 48 cm

hypotenuse = ?

Process

-Use the Pythagorean theorem to find the answer

c² = a² + b²

c = hypotenuse

a = short leg = 17 cm

b = long leg = 48 cm

- Substitution

c² = 17² + 48²

-Simplification

c² = 289 + 2304

c² = 2593

-Result

c =
`√(2593)`
