If the lengths of the legs in a right triangle are 7 and 8, what is the approxir?
1.4
3.5
5.4
10.6
I think it is 5.4
i mean 10.6
well, √(49+64) = √113
Is 5.4 still your choice?
and what the heck is approxir???
it is 10.4
To find the length of the hypotenuse in a right triangle, you can use the Pythagorean Theorem, which states that in a right triangle, 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 legs are given as 7 and 8. So, you can calculate the length of the hypotenuse by using the formula:
c^2 = a^2 + b^2
where c is the hypotenuse and a and b are the legs.
Substituting the given values into the formula, you get:
c^2 = 7^2 + 8^2
c^2 = 49 + 64
c^2 = 113
To find the length of the hypotenuse, you need to find the square root of 113. Evaluating this, you get:
c ≈ √113
c ≈ 10.63
Therefore, the approximate length of the hypotenuse is 10.6 (rounded to one decimal place).
