Answer:

10.6

Step-by-step explanation:

Pythagorean theorem: a² + b² = c²

Where a and b = the legs and c = hypotenuse

We are given two legs and need to find the hypotenuse

Given:

Short leg (a) = 7

Long leg (b) = 8

Hypotenuse = c

Now to find the value of c we simply plug in the values of the variables into the Pythagorean theorem and solve for c

Pythagorean theorem: a² + b² = c²

a = 7, b = 8, c = c

Plug in values

7² + 8² = c²

Now solve for c

Simplify exponents

49 + 64 = c²

Add

113 = c²

Taking the square root of both sides

c = 10.6 ( rounded to the nearest tenth )

Answer:

c = 10.6

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]h {}^{2} = p {}^{2} + b {}^{2} \\ c {}^{2} = (8) {}^{2} + (7) {}^{2} \\ c = \sqrt{64 + 49} \\ c = \sqrt{113} \\c = 10.6[/tex]
