The lengths of the legs of a right triangle are 8 cm and 15 cm

What is the length of the hypotenuse
Answered by PsyDAG
Pythagorean theorem

8^2 + 15^2 = h^2
Answered by Lex
46 cm I think? Sorry, I just don't remember much of how to do the formula/thingy for the hypotenuse.

Wait, PsyDAG, what exactly does the sign "^" do?? Does it mean like, to the power of whichever number that you're doing it by??
Answered by .…_…. chopper
That is the exponent
Answered by PsyDAG
Multiply the first two terms by themselves, then add them to get h. Find the square root of h.
Answered by Lex
So like, 8 x 8, then 15 x 15 and adding whatever you get to get h and then after that you find the square roof of h??
