What is the hypotenuse of a right triangle if the legs are each 20 inches long? Round to the nearest whole number. A. 28 B. 29 C. 30 D. 31

The answer is A.

Step-by-step explanation:

You have to apply Pythagoras Theorem :

P.S (Take note):

Pythagoras Theorem can only applied in right angle triangle.

We can find the hypotenuse by using the Pythagoras theorem/theory. The Pythagoras theorem states that,

= + where, h = hypotenuse, p = perpendicular, b = base

=> = +

=> = 400 + 400

=> = 800

=> h =

=> h = 28.284.....

Therefore rounded to the nearest whole number, we get,

h = 28
