Question

1. find the length of the hypotenuse of the right triangle. 15 ft 20 ft c 22 ft 25 ft 23 ft 27 ft

Explanation:

Step1: Apply Pythagorean theorem

In a right - triangle, $a^{2}+b^{2}=c^{2}$, where $a = 15$, $b = 20$, and $c$ is the hypotenuse. So, $c^{2}=15^{2}+20^{2}$.

Step2: Calculate squares

$15^{2}=15\times15 = 225$ and $20^{2}=20\times20=400$. Then $c^{2}=225 + 400=625$.

Step3: Find the square - root

$c=\sqrt{625}=25$.

Answer:

$25$ ft
