<PRE><B>Question 277223</B>
the length of the legs of right triangle RST are 11 inch and 60 inch. what is the length, in inches of the hypotenuse of triangle RST. 
--------------------
Use Pythagoras:
(hypo)^2 = leg^2 + leg^2
-------
h^2 = 11^2 + 60^2
---
h^2 = 121 + 3600
---
h = sqrt(3721)
---
h = 61
