If the length of the legs of a right triangle are 5 meters and 7 meters, what is the length of the hypotenuse to the nearest tenth of a meter?

Respuesta :

Answer:

8.6 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

a² + b² = c²    means        leg² + leg² = hypotenuse ²

5² + 7² = hypotenuse²

25 + 49 = hypotenuse²

74 = hypotenuse ²

[tex]\sqrt{74}[/tex] = hypotenuse

8.6 = hypotenuse
