Question

what is the length of the hypotenuse? if necessary, round to the nearest tenth.

c = \boxed{} meters

Explanation:

Step1: Apply Pythagorean theorem

For a right triangle, $c^2 = a^2 + b^2$, where $a=3$, $b=3$.
$c^2 = 3^2 + 3^2$

Step2: Calculate squared terms

$c^2 = 9 + 9 = 18$

Step3: Solve for c

$c = \sqrt{18} = 3\sqrt{2} \approx 4.2$

Answer:

$4.2$ meters
