A right triangle with the leg lengths of 7ft and 10ft. Using this information, find the length of the hypotenuse. Then round your answer to the nearest hundredth.

12.21

Step-by-step explanation:

Explanation:

This is a right triangle, so the Pythagorean Theorem applies.

The Pythagorean Theorem states that the sum of the squared legs of a triangle is equal to the squared hypotenuse.

The legs of a triangle are the sides that form the right angle.

The hypotenuse of a triangle is the longest side.

Formula/solve:

Here, I am solving for the hypotenuse.

Conclude:

The last step is the cancel out c² by finding the square root of 149.

149 is not a perfect square, so I must round the square root to the nearest hundredth.

≈

I, therefore, believe the length of the hypotenuse is 12.21 feet.

b. 1.25 hr

step-by-step explanation:

if you have a constant speed of 60 mph, then you have a ratio between 60 mi. to 1 hr. dividing both sides by 60 we get the ratio

1 mi. to

then mult. both sides by 75 we get the ratio

75 mi. to

simplifying we get

75 mi. to

or 1.25 hr.
