Question

One of the legs of a right triangle measures 5 cm and the other leg measures 8 cm.
Find the measure of the hypotenuse. If necessary, round to the nearest tenth.

Answer 1

Answer:

9.4cm

Step-by-step explanation:

by pythagoras theorem,

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

5^2 + 8^2 = c^2

c^2 = 89

c = √89 = 9.433981 ≈ 9.4
