Question 72496: I have a hard time with word problems. A right triangle is a triangle with one angle measuring 90�. In a right triangle, the sides are related by Pythagorean Theorem, where c is the hypotenuse (the side opposite the 90� angle). Find the hypotenuse when the other 2 sides� measurements are 3 feet and 4 feet.
Thank you,

Find the hypotenuse when the other 2 sides� measurements are 3 feet and 4 feet.
----------
Pythagoras determined (hypotenuse)^2 = (side 1)^2 + (side 2)^2
h^2 = 3^2 + 4^2
h^2 = 9 + 16
h^2 = 25
hypotenuse = 5
