Question

What is the length of the hypotenuse? If necessary, round to the nearest tenth.

6.6m
4.1m

Answer 1

Using the Pythagorean theorem, the length of the hypotenuse can be found by taking the square root of the sum of the squares of the three sides of the triangle.

The hypotenuse = √((6.6m)^2 + (4.1m)^2)
= √((43.56m^2) + (16.81m^2))
= √(60.37m^2)
≈ 7.8m.

So, the length of the hypotenuse is approximately 7.8m.
