Find the length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle whose legs are 5 and √2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Using Pythagoras' identity in the right triangle

The square on the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares on the other 2 sides.

let h represent the hypotenuse, then

h² = 5² + ( )² = 25 + 2 = 27 ( take the square root of both sides )

h = ← exact value

one that is bigger than 3 1/2
