Question

In a right triangle, one leg is 7 feet long. The other leg is 24 feet long. What

is the length of the hypotenuse?

Answer 1

Answer: hypotenuse = 25

Step-by-step explanation:
Using Pythagorean’s theorem to find hypotenuse

A^2 + B^2 = C^2
7^2 + 24^2 = C^2
49 + 576 = C^2
625 = C^2
25 = C

Answer 2

25

Step-by-step explanation:

C^2=A^2+B^2

C^2=24^2 + 7^2

C^2=576+49

C^2=625

C=√625

c=25
