A right triangle with the side AB as a length of 35 cm and another side length BC with 12 cm. What is the hypotenuse length of the right triangle?

Sagot :

The formula to find the hypotenuse is a^2 + b^2 = c^2. Let’s call side AB, “a” and call side BC, “b”. Now “a” = 35 cm and “b” = 12 cm. Using the formula, you square (multiply the number by itself) “a” and “b” then add them together. This would look like 35^2 + 12^2 =c^2. When you do the multiplication it ends up as 1,225 + 144 = c^2. Add 1,225 and 144 together to get 1,369 = c^2. Last step is to square root both sides to get 37 = c. So the hypotenuse of this triangle would be 37.
Hope this helps!
