Yea A student is asked to find the length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle. The length of one leg is 38 ​centimeters, and the length of the other leg is 27 centimeters. The student incorrectly says that the length of the hypotenuse is 8.1 centimeters.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Use Pythagorean theorem,

hypotenuse² = (leg₁)² + (leg₂)²

                     = 38² + 27²

                     = 1444 + 729

                     = 2173

hypotenuse = √2173 = 46.6  cm
