The length of the line (hypotenuse) can be found using the Pythagorean theorem, which states that in a right triangle, the square of the length of the hypotenuse (c) is equal to the sum of the squares of the lengths of the other two sides (a and b).
In this case, the lengths of the legs are given as Leg A = 5 and Leg B = 6.
Using the Pythagorean theorem:
c^2 = a^2 + b^2
c^2 = 5^2 + 6^2
c^2 = 25 + 36
c^2 = 61
Taking the square root of both sides to find the length of the hypotenuse:
c = √61
c ≈ 7.81
So, the length of the line (hypotenuse) is approximately 7.81.
