Question

what is the length of the hypotenuse? if necessary, round to the nearest tenth. c = feet

Explanation:

Step1: Apply Pythagorean theorem

$a = 57$, $b = 76$, $c^{2}=a^{2}+b^{2}$

Step2: Calculate $a^{2}$ and $b^{2}$

$a^{2}=57^{2}=3249$, $b^{2}=76^{2}=5776$

Step3: Find $c^{2}$

$c^{2}=3249 + 5776=9025$

Step4: Calculate $c$

$c=\sqrt{9025}=95$

Answer:

95
