Question

One of the legs of a right triangle measures 1 cm and the other leg measures 17 cm.
Find the measure of the hypotenuse. If necessary, round to the nearest tenth.

Answer 1

Answer:

using phythagoras formula of right angles we can calculate the hypotenuse

1^2=x^2+17^2

x^2=17^2-1^2(transpose)

×^2=288 (introduce a square root)

x=15.01(round of to the nearest tenth)

Step-by-step explanation:

x=10
