Question 830864: how long is the hypotenuse of the right triangle if its legs measure 15cm and 8cm
Found 3 solutions by JulietG, stanbon, MathTherapy:Answer by JulietG(1812) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! We know that for a right triangle, a^2 + b^2 = c^2, where a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse.
You're given the legs. Plug those values in.
15^2 + 8^2 = c^2
Do the math.
225 + 64 = c^2
Add
289 = c^2
Find the square root
17 = c Answer by stanbon(75887) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! how long is the hypotenuse of the right triangle
if its legs measure 15cm and 8cm
--------
h = sqrt[15^2+8^2] = sqrt[64.0667] = 8.0042
