Answer:

  √89

Step-by-step explanation:

The Pythagorean theorem relates the measures of sides in a right triangle. For legs 'a' and 'b' and hypotenuse 'c', it tells you ...

  c² = a² +b²

  c² = 5² +8² = 25 +64 = 89

  c = √89 . . . . the length of the third side

Answer:[tex]\sqrt{89}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

opposite=8

Adjacent=5

Hypotenuse= ?

Using pythagoras theorem,

[tex]Hyp^{2} = Opp^{2} + adj^{2}[/tex]

[tex]Hyp^{2}[/tex]= [tex]8^{2} +5^{2}[/tex]

[tex]Hyp^{2}[/tex]=64 +25

[tex]Hyp^{2} =89[/tex]

Take the square root of both sides.Square and square root will cancel out leaving Hypotenuse

Hyp=[tex]\sqrt{89}[/tex]
