Question

Right triangle abc has side lengths 15 cm and 20 cm. what is the length of the hypotenuse?

Answer 1

by Pythagoras theorem
let h be the length of hypotenuse
15^2+20^2=h^2
h^2=625
h=25

Answer 2

---------------------------------------
Pythagoras Theorem:
--------------------------------------- 
a² + b² = c²

---------------------------------------
Find hypotenuse:
---------------------------------------
15² + 20²  = c²
c² = 15² + 20²
c² = 225 + 400
c² = 625
c = √625
c =25

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Answer: The length of the hypotenuse is 25 cm.
