7.8

because, the formula for a hypotenuse is a^2 + b^2 = c^2

the hypotenuse is "c" and the legs of the triangle are "a" and "b"

5^2 + 6^2 = c^2 5^2=25 6^2=36 so 25+36=c^2 25+36=61 so 61=c^2 square root each side and you get "c" equaling (to the nearest tenth) 7.8

Approximate to the nearest thousandth of a centimeter the length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle with legs of 3 centimeters each?

If both legs of a right triangle are the same, then it forms what is known as a "45-45-90 triangle". In this type of triangle, the hypotenuse is always √2 times more than the legs. So in this problem, with legs 3cm and 3cm, the hypotenuse is 3√2cm, or 4.243cm
