cm.
The length of the hypotenuse of the right triangle to the nearest tenth of a centimeter is
(Round to the nearest tenth as needed.)

Respuesta :

[tex]Hypotenuse =39cm[/tex] of right angle triangle! .

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we have , A student is asked to find the length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle. The length of one leg is 32  centimeters, and the length of the other leg is 25 centimeters. The student incorrectly says that the  length of the hypotenuse is 7.5 centimeters. We need to find:

A)

We have , One length as 32 cm and other as 25 cm , as

[tex]Perpendicular = 32cm\\Base=25cm[/tex]

By Pythagoras Theorem ,

⇒ [tex]Hypotenuse^2 = Perpendicular^2+Base^2[/tex]

⇒ [tex]Hypotenuse^2 =32^2+22^2[/tex]

⇒ [tex]\sqrt{Hypotenuse^2} =\sqrt{1024+484}[/tex]

⇒ [tex]Hypotenuse =39cm[/tex]

So , [tex]Hypotenuse =39cm[/tex] of right angle triangle! .

Answer: 39 cm
