Answer:
x = √65
Step-by-step explanation:
You are given a right triangle with leg lengths 4 and 7, and you are asked for the length of the hypotenuse, x.
Pythagorean theorem
The Pythagorean theorem relates the lengths of the sides of a right triangle. It tells you the square of the hypotenuse (x²) is the sum of the squares of the other two sides.
x² = 4² +7² . . . . . . . . . Pythagorean relation
x² = 16 +49 = 65 . . . evaluate the expression
x = √65 . . . . . . . . . . take the square root
