Question

In a right angle triangle the base is 15 cm and the perpendicular is 10 cm estimate the sum of hypotenuse to the nearest whole number

Answer 1

Answer:

18

Step-by-step explanation:

${hypotenuse}^{2} = {base}^{2} + {altitude}^{2} \\ {15}^{2} + {10}^{2} = {hypt}^{2} \\ 225 + 100 = 325 = {hypotenuse}^{2} \\ hypotenuse = \sqrt{325}$
