What is the hypotenuse when the 2 legs are 9 and 12 ?
i think 15
Yes, Pythagoras would be your proof.

15
To find the length of the hypotenuse using the Pythagorean theorem, you can use the equation:
hypotenuse^2 = leg1^2 + leg2^2
In this case, leg1 is 9 and leg2 is 12. Let's substitute these values into the equation:
hypotenuse^2 = 9^2 + 12^2
Simplifying:
hypotenuse^2 = 81 + 144
hypotenuse^2 = 225
To solve for the hypotenuse, we need to find the square root of both sides of the equation:
hypotenuse = √225
hypotenuse = 15
Therefore, the hypotenuse is 15 when the legs are 9 and 12.
