document.write( "A right triangle is a triangle with one angle measuring 90°. In a right triangle, the lengths of the sides are related by the Pythagorean Theorem, c²= a²+ b² where c is the length of the hypotenuse (the side opposite the 90° angle). Find the length of the hypotenuse when the other two sides’ measurements are 3 feet and 4 feet.\r

Algebra.Com's Answer #59133 by 303795(602)![]() ![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! This is a straight application of the formula which you have given. The hypotenuse (represented by c) is the required side. The other two sides given are the a and b sides. It doesn't matter which you call a and which you call b. \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "Find the square root of each side \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "c = 5 feet \n" ); document.write( " |
