The legs of a triangle measure 7 mm and 24 mm. What length hypotenuse makes the triangle a right triangle?

Respuesta :

calculista

Answer:

25 mm

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

Any right triangle must satisfy the Pythagorean Theorem

so

[tex]c^2=a^2+b^2[/tex]

where

c is the hypotenuse (greater side)

a and b are the legs (perpendicular sides)

substitute the given values

[tex]c^2=7^2+24^2[/tex]

[tex]c^2=625\\c=25\ mm[/tex]
