I apologize for the misunderstanding, and I appreciate your patience. Let's reevaluate the problem from scratch.
Given a right triangle with side lengths of 20 and 30, we need to find the length of the hypotenuse, , using the Pythagorean theorem:
In this case, let and :
-
Compute and :
-
Add the squares:
-
Now, take the square root to find :
-
Calculating :
However, recognizing that can be simplified:
Calculating gives approximately , therefore:
When rounding to the nearest hundredth:
If your inquiry regards the method or any other specifications, please clarify. The calculations affirm that the hypotenuse is indeed approximately 36.06 when rounded to the nearest hundredth. Thank you for your understanding!
