The legs of a right triangle are 3 units and 10 units. What is the length of the hypotenuse? Round your answer to the nearest hundredth. 10.44 units 1.00 unit 7.00 units 9.54 units
Hi there! :)
Since we are looking for the hypotenuse, we will use the Pythagorean theorem.
Which is:
\(a^2+b^2=c^2\)
We know the values of a and b so let's plug them in
\(3^2+10^2=c^2\)
\(9+100=c^2\)
\(109=c^2\)
Square root both sides to cancel out the root
\(\sqrt{109} = \sqrt{c^2}\)
Final answer:
C=10.44
