The two legs of a right triangle are 10 inches and 7 inches. What is the length of the hypotenuse to the nearest inch?
A.17
B.12
C.9
D.7
Is the answer A?
10 answers
No. It is not A.
OK I'm sorry. Is the answer C?
Not C either.
10^2 + 7^2 = hyp^2
Find the hyp from that
10^2 + 7^2 = hyp^2
Find the hyp from that
Let the two legs be a and b. Let the hypotenuse be c.
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
So the answer has to be D then right?
No. Use this equation to find the hypotenuse:
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
10^2 + 7^2 = c^2
100 + 49 = c^2
149 = c^2
12.206555615733702951897855256623 = c
12.206555615733702951897855256623 is the closest to 12, so B is the answer.
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
10^2 + 7^2 = c^2
100 + 49 = c^2
149 = c^2
12.206555615733702951897855256623 = c
12.206555615733702951897855256623 is the closest to 12, so B is the answer.
OK thanks everybody :0)
You're welcome, Blue. :)
The answer is B, guys you answered everything but (B) and the other answers are wrong. Take it from me I got the question wrong when I put the answer (c) so it showed me what was right.
Yep, well see yuh
Yep, well see yuh
It’s B number 12
