in a right-angled triangle,the two sides that form the angle are both 5 inches.calculate the length of the?

Question

other side(the hypotenuse).
a.5.66in
b.5.96 in
c.6.17 in
d.7.07 in

Answer 1

D

Seriously, what class are you in? Algebra? Geometry? You chould know this!! It's the pythagorean theorm- [a2 +b2 =c2] (2's = squared). You have a and b, the two adjacent sides of the triangle. Therefore, it is the square root of 50, or approx. 7.07. Thats SUPER important, make sure you remember it!

Answer 2

You have to use pythagreon's theorem.

a squared + b squared = c squared

sides a and b are your legs, and c is the hypotenuse.

you have both legs (a & b), so you need to find c

5 squared + 5 squared = c squared
25 + 25 = c squared
50 = c squared
now you take the square root of 50
and you will get 7.07 in, letter D

Answer 3

d.7.07

5 squared + 5 squared = hypotenuse squared

25 + 25 = hypotenuse squared

50 = hypotenuse squared

7.07 = hypotenuse
