Question

3.9 in.
4.4 in.
what is the length of the hypotenuse? if necessary, round to the nearest tenth.
c = inches

Explanation:

Step1: Apply Pythagorean theorem

$c^2 = 4.4^2 + 3.9^2$

Step2: Calculate squares of legs

$4.4^2 = 19.36$, $3.9^2 = 15.21$

Step3: Sum the squares

$19.36 + 15.21 = 34.57$

Step4: Find square root

$c = \sqrt{34.57} \approx 5.9$

Answer:

5.9
