If the legs of a right angle are 9 and 17, what is the length of the hypotenuse? Answer by mananth(16946) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! leg1 = 9
leg2 = 17
let hypotenuse be H
..
PYTHAGORAS THEOREM
LEG1^2+LEG2^2 = HYPOTENUSE^2
...
9^2+17^2= H^2
81+289=H^2
H^2= 370
H= 19.2 units
