A student is asked to find the length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle. The length of one leg is 34
centimeters, and the length of the other leg is 24 centimeters. The student incorrectly says that the
length of the hypotenuse is 7.6 centimeters. Answer parts a and b.
a. Find the length of the hypotenuse of the right triangle to the nearest tenth of a centimeter.

Sagot :

Answer:

41.6 centimeters

Step-by-step explanation:

The right triangle formula: c^2 = a^2 + b^2

                                  c is the hypotenuse side of the triangle

                                  a and b are the legs of the triangle.    

 Find the hypotenuse :   c^2 = (24)^2 + (34)^2

                                          c = square root of (  (24)^2 + (34)^2)

                                          c = square root of ( 576 + 1,156)

                                          c = 41.6173
