Question

77 yd
36 yd
What is the length of the hypotenuse?
C =
yards

Answer 1

Answer:

c = 85 yd

Step-by-step explanation:

Using Pythagoras' identity in the right triangle.

The square on the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares on the other 2 sides , that is

c² = 77² + 36² = 5929 + 1296 = 7225 ( take square root of both sides )

c = $\sqrt{7225}$ = 85

Answer 2

Answer:

$85yd$

Step-by-step explanation:

According to PYTHAGORAS Theorem,

${c}^{2} = {77}^{2} + {36}^{2} \\ {c}^{2} = 5929 + 1296 \\ {c}^{2} = 7225 \\ c = \sqrt{7225} \\ c= 85yd$
