What is the length of the hypotenuse of the right triangle shown below?
A 13
B 7
C 4.1
D 17
There is no triangle shown, so it is impossible to determine the length of the hypotenuse.
To find the length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle, we can use the Pythagorean theorem, which states that the square of the length of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides of the right triangle.
Let's assume that side A is the length of one of the legs of the triangle and side B is the length of the other leg. The length of the hypotenuse (H) can be found by applying the Pythagorean theorem:
H² = A² + B²
From the given options, we can calculate the squares of the lengths mentioned:
A² = 13² = 169
B² = 7² = 49
C² = 4.1² = 16.81
D² = 17² = 289
By comparing the squared values, we can determine which option satisfies the Pythagorean theorem:
H² = A² + B²
H² = 169 + 49
H² = 218
None of the given options provide a squared value of 218. Therefore, none of the given options corresponds to the correct length of the hypotenuse of the right triangle.
