what is the length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle that has legs with lengths of 5 and 4?
\n" ); document.write( "apply the Pythagorean Theorem:
\n" ); document.write( "Let h = hypotenuse
\n" ); document.write( "then
\n" ); document.write( "h^2 = 5^2 + 4^2
\n" ); document.write( "h^2 = 25 + 16
\n" ); document.write( "h^2 = 41
\n" ); document.write( "h = sqrt(41)
\n" ); document.write( "h = 6.40\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
