Using the Pythagorean theorem, where a = 5.3 km and b = 5.3 km:
c^2 = a^2 + b^2
c^2 = 5.3^2 + 5.3^2
c^2 = 28.09 + 28.09
c^2 = 56.18
c ≈ √56.18
c ≈ 7.5 km
Therefore, the length of the hypotenuse is approximately 7.5 km.
What is the length of the hypotenuse? If necessary, round to the nearest tenth.
c=Kilometers
c=5.3km, 5.3km
