Question

A student is asked to find the length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle. The length of one leg is ​centimetres, and the length of the other leg is centimetres. The student incorrectly says that the length of the hypotenuse is centimetres. Answer parts a and b. a. Find the length of the hypotenuse of the right triangle to the nearest tenth of a cementer.

Answer 1

Answer:

Since you didn't provided any lengths,I used my own so you could see the process of solving this type of a problem.

Step-by-step explanation:

a² + b² = c²

side1² + side2²  = hypotenuse²      side 1 = 1 cm       side 2 = 2 cm

                                                        solve for the hypotenuse

Hyp  = √(s1² + s2²)

        = √(1² + 2²)

        =  √(1 + 4)

        =  √5

Hyp = 2.235           my right triangle hypotenuse measrured  2.2 cm
