What is the length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle, whose legs have lengths of 12 meters and 35 meters?
the answer is 37 cause the two sides squared and added together equals the hypotenuse squared after that you just find the square root of the answer
Answer:
Hypotenuse, h = 37 meters
Explanation:
In a right angled triangle, the length of legs are 12 meters and 35 meters. We have to find the length of the hypotenuse of a right angled triangle.
It can be calculated using Pythagoras theorem :
\((hypotenuse)^2=(base)^2+(perpendicular)^2\)
So, \((hypotenuse)^2=(12)^2+(35)^2\)
hypotenuse = 37 meters.
Hence, the length of the hypotenuse of a right angled triangle is 37 meters.
