Question

Use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the length of the hypotenuse in the triangle shown below.

12
35

Answer 1

37

Explanation:

The square length of hypotenuse is equal to the sum of square length of two legs:

12^2 + 35^2 = c^2

144 + 1225 = c^2

1369 = c^2 find the root for both sides

37 = c
