Question

a right triangle has legs that measure 6 inches and 7 inches. find the length of the hypotenuse. round your answer to the nearest tenth. ​

Answer 1

About 9.2

Explanation:

Using the pythagorean theorem, you know that the length of the hypotenuse is the square root of the sum of the two side lengths squared. In other words:

`x=√(6^2+7^2)=√(36+49)=√(85)\approx 9.2`

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

Explanation:

hypotenuse² = 6² + 7²

= 36 + 49

= 85

hypotenuse = √85 = 9.2
