Question

A right triangle is graphed on a coordinate plane. Find the length of the hypotenuse. Round your answer to the nearest tenth?

Answer 1

`"Approx. "7.6" unit"`.

Explanation:

We find that the lengths of the sides forming the right angle are

`3 and 7`.

Hence, by Pythagoras' Theorem, the length of the hypotenuse

is `sqrt(3^2+7^2)=sqrt58~~7.6" unit"`.
