To the nearest tenth, what is the length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle if one side measures 4.5 meters and the other side measures 9 meters?

1) 10.1 meters
2) 20.3 meters
3) 101.3 meters
4) 202.6 meters


Sagot :

C squared= a squared + b squared
C squared = 4.5 squared + 9 squared
C squared = 20.25 + 81
C squared = 101.25
Square root 101.25 you get 10.06 round up and you get the answer to be number 1
the answer is 1) 10.1 meters

According to the pythagora theorum,

h² = a² + b²

h² = 4.5² + 9²

= 20.25 + 81

thus, h² = 101.25

thus, h = √101.25

thus, h = 10.06230589 units,   or 10.1  rounded to the nearest tenth
