Answer:
c = 75 in
Step-by-step explanation:
The hypotenuse of a right triangle is found by the Pythagorean theorem:
a² + b² = c² (a and b are the legs, c is the hypotenuse)
Plug in: 45² + 60² = c²
Square + square root: √(2025 + 3600) = c
Add: √5625 = c
Square root: 75 in = c (no negatives because we are finding distance)
