Question: * R.3.16 \ 12 (was R.3.6) What is the hypotenuse of a right triangle with legs 14 and 48 and how did you get your result?

YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Your solution:

The equation for a right triangle is a^2 + b^2 = c^2 and for this the legs are a and b so

14^2+48^2 = c^2

196 +2304 = c^2

2498= c^2

sqart 2498 = c

c = 49.97

because the hypotenuse is always the “leg” that is diagnol from the 90 degree angle.
