Question

If a right triangle has legs measuring 10 cm and 24 cm, how long is the hypotenuse?(1 point)

Answer 1

Camila needs to fix the window on the front of her house. The bottom of the window is 16 ft. from the ground. She only has a 20 ft. ladder. How far from the base of the house should she set up the ladder so that the top of the ladder is exactly at the bottom of the window?

Answer 2

To find the length of the hypotenuse in a right triangle, you can use the Pythagorean theorem, which states that the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the two legs. Therefore, in this case, the hypotenuse can be found by calculating the square root of (10^2 + 24^2) which equals 26 cm.
