sides of a triangle help?

Question

okay so my sides are
b is 6 ft.
h is 7 ft.
and i need to find out the hypotenuse, its a right angle and i totally spaced on how to figure it out. can anyone please help me. no this is not a homework problem, im not even in that class anymore, i need it for something else. PLEASE

Answer 1

(Hypotenuse)^2= Base^2 + Height^2

but here if h = hypotenuse then your answer will be 7 ft itself..
but here if h is hight then use the above equation.

Hypotenuse^2 = 6^2+ 7^2
= 36+49
= square root of (85)
=9.22 ft

Answer 2

make a rough sketch of the triangle and name the sides.AC=HYPOTENUSE(SUPPOSE) AB is the height =6ft.,BC=breadth=7ft.Then AC^2=AB^2+BC^2.(According to pythogoras theorem the square of the hypotenuse equals the sum of the square of the other 2 sides). So,
AC^2=6^2+7^2
AC^2=36+49
AC^2=85FT
CHANGE 85 INTO THE ROOT AND THE CUT THE SQUARE OF AC WITH THE 85.THE NUMBER SO OBTAINED IS THE ANSWER

Answer 3

(hypotenuse)^2 = sum of squares of each side
so h^2 = 6^2 + 7^2 = 36 + 49 = 85
so hypotenuse is sqrt(85) = 9.22
hypotenuse = 9.22 ft or about 9 ft 3 in

Answer 4

base squared + height squared = hyptenuse squared. so 6²+7² = 36+49 = 85. So hypotenuse is sqrt(85) = 9.22

Answer 5

simple:

use the formula l^2 = b^2+h^2 where b and h are sides and l is hypotenuse

l^2 = 36+49= 85
l = sqrt(85) ft

Answer 6

sq rt of 6^2 +7^2
sq rt of 36+49
sq rt of 85

Answer 7

Let b, h, and x be the sides of this right triangle; x being the hypotenuse, which we are looking for.

Now, the Pythagorean Theorem implies that
x² = b² + h²

Since we have b = 6 ft and h = 7 ft, then
x² = (6 ft)² + (7 ft)²

Thus,
x² = 36 ft² + 49 ft²

We add
x² = 85 ft²

Then, we get the square root of both sides, and we have the value of the hypotenuse,
Therefore,
x = √85 ft ≈ 9.219544457..........................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Answer 8

a squared + b squared = c squared
6 squared + 7 squared = take the square root and...

voila.

Answer 9

h=rt(36+49)=rt85'

Answer 10

it's easy...
it's: c(squared) = a(squared) + b(squared)

where:
c = hypotenuse
b = base
a = height
so the answer is: c(squared) = 85 or, 9.2195
