Find the length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle if a = 3 and b = 4.
A) 3.5
B) 5
C) 6
D) 7

Answer:
5..(b)
Step-by-step explanation:
Pythagoras theorem states that
Hypotenuse(squared)=opposite(squared)+ adjacent(squared)
hypotenuse=?,opposite=3,adjacent=4
hyp(squared)=3(squared)+4(squared)
hyp(squared)=9+16
hyp(squared)=25
find the square root of both sides
hypotenuse=5
