Question

What is the length of the hyptonenuse of the right triangle? the other sides are:

36 ft
15 f​

Answer 1

39

Explanation:

We can use the Pythagorean theorem

a^2+b^2 = c^2 where a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse

15^2 + 36^2 = c^2

225+1296 = c^2

1521 = c^2

Take the square root of each side

39 = c
