Answer:
Explanation:
For any right triangle, the longest side is called the hypotenuse. Therefore, by Pythagorean theorem it is true that:
[tex]x^2=a^2+b^2[/tex]
Where:
x: Hypotenuse
a, b: The other two sides.
For instance, if we have a right triangle whose sides measure:
[tex]a=3 \\ \\ b=4[/tex]
Then, the hypotenuse can be found as:
[tex]x=\sqrt{3^2+4^2} \\ \\ c=\sqrt{25} \\ \\ c=5[/tex]
