Answer 1

Hypotenuse or
`c = 75` in.

Explanation:

The Pythagorean Theorem is as follows:

`a^2 + b^2 = c^2` (We know the length of the legs, or a and b, so we can use the formula to find the length of c, or the hypotenuse)

`c^2 = 21^2 + 72^2` (Simplify)

`c^2 = 5625` (Take the square root of both sides)

`c = 75` in.
