The legs of a right triangle are 5 units and 15 units. what is the length of the hypotenuse

The lenght of the hypotenuse is units or units.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are going to use the Pythagorean theorem to solve this.

The Pythagorean theorem states that given a right triangle in which ''a'' and ''b'' are the length of the legs and ''c'' is the length of the hypotenuse, this three lengths satisfy the following equation :

To find the length of the hypotenuse in this exercise, we need to replace the values and in the equation and then find the value of c that satisfy it ⇒

Given that ⇒

or

the answer is ! ?
