Question 168834: i cant figure out how to get the answer for hypotenuse i understand that you have to add the two numbers together but how to get that finale answer
Answer by Alan3354(69443) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
You add the squares of the 2 other sides, then take the sqrt.
For example: the 2 short sides are 5 and 12
c (hypotenuse) = sqrt(5*5 + 12*12)
= sqrt(25 + 144)
= sqrt(169)
= 13
it's
