Two legs of a right triangle measure 23 inches and 38 inches. What is the length of the hypotenuse, to the nearest inch?

hypotenuse ≈ 44 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Using Pythagoras' identity

The square on the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares on the other two sides.

let the hypotenuse be h , then

h² = 23² + 38² = 529 + 1444 = 1973 ( take square root of both sides )

h = ≈ 44 inches ( to the nearest inch )

answer: t=3
