A right triangle has leg lengths that are 5 meters and 6 meters, respectively. Which of the following lengths, in meters, is closest to that of the hypotenuse of the right triangle? answer

Respuesta :

Answer:

7.8 or 8

Step-by-step explanation: To get the hypotenuse of a right triangle we must square each part.

5^2 is 25 and 6^2 is 36

Now you add the two squared parts, which equals 61. 61 squared isn't a perfectly squared. This means the answer is 7.8 or rounded to the nearest tenth the answer will be 8.
