What is the length, in units, of the hypotenuse of a right triangle if each of the two legs is 3 units?
Square root of 18 units
Square root of 27 units
3 units
6 units

Respuesta :

A: Square root of 18 units
To find the hypotenuse,we can use the Pythagoras Theorem:
[tex]{c}^{2} = {a}^{2} + {b}^{2} [/tex]
Where c is the hypotenuse and a,b are the legs.

In this case:
[tex]{c}^{2} = {3}^{2} + {3}^{2} \\ {c}^{2} = 9 + 9 \\ {c}^{2} = 18 \\ c = \sqrt{18} [/tex]

Therefore the answer is Square root of 18 units.

Hope it helps!
