Question

In a right triangle, how do you find the exact value of c if a=14 b=14?

Answer 1

The hypotenuse is exactly `14sqrt 2`.

Explanation:

This is an iscoseles right triangle in which the angles are 45-45-90. Sides a and b are equal, and the hypotenuse,c, is the length of one side times `sqrt 2`. Since both sides a and b are 14, the hypotenuse, c, is `14sqrt 2`.
