What is the length of the hypotenuse? If necessary, round to the nearest tenth. c = ____ inches?

To find the length of the hypotenuse (c) in a right triangle, we can use the Pythagorean Theorem, which states:

( a^2 + b^2 = c^2 )

Here, (a) and (b) are the lengths of the two other sides of the triangle.

1. Identify the lengths of sides (a) and (b) (if they are given).
2. Square both lengths: Calculate (a^2) and (b^2).
3. Add the squares: Add the results: (a^2 + b^2).
4. Take the square root: Find (c) by taking the square root of the sum: ( c = sqrt{(a^2 + b^2)} ).

5. Round to the nearest tenth if required.

If you provide the values of (a) and (b), I can give you the exact length of the hypotenuse!
