Question

What is the length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle if the two other sides are of lengths 9 and 10?

Answer 1

`sqrt(181)`

Explanation:

Remember the Pythagorean Theorem:

`a^2 + b^2 = c^2`

The values `a` and `b` are legs, and `c` is the hypotenuse. So:

`9^2 + 10^2 = c^2`
`81 + 100 = c^2`
`c = sqrt(181)`
