The lengths of the legs of a right triangle are 15 cm and 20 cm. What is the length of the hypotenuse?
The hypotenuse of a right triangle with legs 12 inches and 16 inches is: 20 inches.
14 radical2
fourteen and one quarter inches
Using Pythagoras: hypotenuse² = leg_1² + leg_2² = 14² + 48² = 196 + 2304 = 2500 → hypotenuse = √2500 = 50 units.
The lengths of the legs of a right triangle are 15 cm and 20 cm. What is the length of the hypotenuse?
The hypotenuse of a right triangle with legs 12 inches and 16 inches is: 20 inches.

The hypotenuse is the suare root of the sum of squares of the two legs. 11 squared is 121 and 5 squared is 25 so sum of legs squared is 121 + 25 = 146 The square root of 146 is 12 something and not 20 so the hypotenuse cannot be 20
Using Pythagoras: hypotenuse² = leg_1² + leg_2² = 14² + 48² = 196 + 2304 = 2500 → hypotenuse = √2500 = 50 units.
The hypotenuse of a right triangle with legs of 8 and 10 is: 12.81
The hypotenuse of a triangle with legs of 35 and 68 is: 76.48
The square of the two legs is equal to the square of the hypotenuse. a2+b2 = c2 where a and b are the legs and c being the hypotenuse
The two legs squared and added together = the length of the hypotenuse's length squared
Using Pythagoras' theorem its hypotenuse will be 20
The hypotenuse is the longest side of any right triangle, and the legs are the two legs coming out from where the right angle is.
