If the length of the legs of a right triangle are 18 and 34, what is the length of the hypotenuse? Round your answer to the nearest tenth, if necessary.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have been given the legs of the right angled triangle we can use Pythagoras theorem to find the hypotenuse

That's

where

h is the hypotenuse

The legs of the triangle are 18 and 34 so the hypotenuse is

h = 38.47076

We have the final answer as

Hope this helps you

38.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

To find the length of a missing side of a right triangle we use the equation

a is a leg

b is the other leg

c is the hypotenuse

Put in what we know

Simplify

Simplify

Take the square root of both sides

38.470 = c

Round to the nearest tenth

38.5 = c

Hope this helps!
