Question 254134: The legs of a right triangle are 9 and 15 feet long, respectively. What is the length of the hypotenuse? If necessary, round your answer to two decimal places. Answer by JimboP1977(311) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! x^2+y^2=r^2 where x and y are the sides next to the right angled triangle and r is the hypotenuse (side opposite the right angle).
From this can you work out what r is?
