Question

Vicki sketches a right triangle with legs of lengths x and y and a hypotenuse of length z. She writes an equation that relates x, y, and z. Then, she writes an expression for the length of the hypotenuse. Which expression does she write?
√x2+y2
x2-y2
O√x²+z2
√x+y

GPT-5 mini · Answer

By the Pythagorean theorem x^2 + y^2 = z^2, so the hypotenuse is
z = √(x^2 + y^2).

(That corresponds to the first choice: √x2+y2.)
