If one leg is 1847 units long and the other leg is 3694 units long. What is the hypotenuse. The answer should be in simplified radical form. (No Decimals)
The Pythagorean Theorem is needed here: highlight%28c%5E2=a%5E2%2Bb%5E2%29, where c=hypotenuse, a and b are the legs.
c%5E2=1847%5E2%2B3694%5E2
c%5E2=3411409%2B13645636
c%5E2=17057045
sqrt%28c%5E2%29=sqrt%2817057045%29
c=sqrt%283411409%29%2Asqrt%285%29
highlight%28c=1847%2Asqrt%285%29%29
Happy Calculating!!!!
