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?
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.
It’s B number 12
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
Let the two legs be a and b. Let the hypotenuse be c.
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
So the answer has to be D then right?
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
