Given a triangle with sides of 2 cm and 6 cm, what is the length of the hypotenuse?

a. √8
b. √40
c. 40
d. 8

Step-by-step explanation:

it's important to mention this only works for right triangles. Or in other words a triangle that has a 90 degree angle. the two sides connected to that right angle are called legs, while the one side not touching it is the hypotenuse, which is what we're looking for.

we are going to use the Pythagorean theorem. if we label one leg a and the other as b, it doesn't matter which one is which, and the hypotenuse as c we have the relation

so let's plug in.

let me know if you need any more help.

answer

explanation

the given function is

this function has y-intercept at

-4 and a slope of 2.

note that, the graph has a positive slope.

the graph that represents this function is the straight line that moves upward from left to right.

the graph touches the y-axis at -4.

the correct choice is the graph shown in the attachment.
