Q:

The area of a right triangle is 210 square inches. The height of the right triangle is 35 inches.What is the length of the hypotenuse of the right triangle?

Accepted Solution

A:
Based on the information the length of the hypotenuse of the right triangle is 37in.First step is to calculate the area of triangleArea of triangle=1/2×height × length=210Length=210×2/35Length=12Second step is to calculate  length of the hypotenuse Hypotenuse=12²+35²Hypotenuse=144+1225Hypotenuse=√1,369Hypotenuse=37inInconclusion the length of the hypotenuse of the right triangle is 37in.Learn more about length of the hypotenuse here:
