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

Question

c=Meters

c, 3m, 7m

Answer 1

Using the Pythagorean theorem:

c^2 = 3^2 + 7^2
c^2 = 9 + 49
c^2 = 58

Taking the square root of both sides:
c = √58
c ≈ 7.6 meters

Therefore, the length of the hypotenuse is approximately 7.6 meters.
