Question

The legs of an isosceles right triangle are 11 cm long. Find the length of the hypotenuse. Round to the nearest tenth if necessary.

Answer 1

so,

h^2=b^2+p^2

h^2=11^2+11^2

h^2=121+121

h^2=242

h=√242

h=11√2

h=11*1.414(value of √2)

h=15.556 cm is the answer

Answer 2

h^2=b^2+p^2

h^2=11^2+11^2

h^2=121+121

h^2=242

h=√242

h=11√2

h=11*1.414(value of √2)

h=15.556 cm is the answer
