Asked by Zephyr Benedict

The inside angles of the right triangle are 28 and 62. Side m is approximately 6.1 units, side n is approximately 11.48 units, and side o is 13 units. What is the length of the hypotenuse of this triangle? How do you know?
A. The length is 13 units because the hypotenuse is the longest side.
B. The length is approximately 6.1 units because the hypotenuse is the shortest side.
C. The length is approximately 11.48 units because it is the middle length.
D. The length is approximately 11.48 unit because it forms the right angle.

A. The length is 13 units because the hypotenuse is the longest side.

Reason: In a right triangle the hypotenuse is the side opposite the 90° angle and is the longest side. Of the given lengths 6.1, 11.48, and 13, the longest is 13, so that is the hypotenuse.
