Question

what is the length of the hypotenuse? if necessary, round to the nearest tent
$c = square$ meters

Explanation:

Step1: Apply Pythagorean theorem

$$c^2=a^2 + b^2$$
Here \(a = 48\) and \(b=36\). So \(c^2=48^2+36^2\).

Step2: Calculate \(a^2\) and \(b^2\)

\(48^2=48\times48 = 2304\), \(36^2=36\times36=1296\). Then \(c^2=2304 + 1296\).

Step3: Sum the values

\(c^2=2304+1296=3600\).

Step4: Find \(c\)

Take the square - root of \(c^2\), \(c=\sqrt{3600}\). Since \(\sqrt{3600}=60\).

Answer:

\(60\)
