Question

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

c, 3yd, 9yd

Answer 1

Using the Pythagorean Theorem (a^2 + b^2 = c^2) where a = 3yd and b = 9yd:

c = sqrt(3^2 + 9^2)
c = sqrt(9 + 81)
c = sqrt(90)
c = 9.5 yards

The length of the hypotenuse is approximately 9.5 yards.
