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

To find the length of the hypotenuse (c) in a right triangle, you can use the Pythagorean theorem, which states that ( a^2 + b^2 = c^2 ), where ( a ) and ( b ) are the lengths of the other two sides.

1. Identify the lengths of the two sides (a and b).
2. Square both lengths: Calculate ( a^2 ) and ( b^2 ).
3. Add the squares: Sum them up to get ( a^2 + b^2 ).
4. Calculate the hypotenuse: Take the square root of the sum to find ( c ):

( c = sqrt{a^2 + b^2} ).

After you’ve followed these steps, round the value to the nearest tenth if needed.

If you provide the lengths of sides ( a ) and ( b ), I can help you calculate the hypotenuse!
