The hypotenuse of a right triangle can be found using the Pythagorean Theorem, which states that the square of the length of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the lengths of the other two sides.
In this case, the lengths of the two legs are 9 cm and 12 cm.
So, the length of the hypotenuse can be found as:
hypotenuse^2 = 9^2 + 12^2
hypotenuse^2 = 81 + 144
hypotenuse^2 = 225
hypotenuse = √225
hypotenuse = 15 cm
Therefore, the length of the hypotenuse of the picture frame is 15 cm.
A picture frame is in the shape of a right triangle with legs 9 cm and 12 cm what is the hypoteness in centimeters
