Answer:
The hypotenuse to the nearest tenth is 8.1
Step-by-step explanation:
We can use the Pythagorean theorem to solve
a^2 + b^2 = c^2 where a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse
Let a be the x leg and b be the y leg
a = 7 units
b= 4 units
7^2 + 4^2 = c^2
49+ 16 = c^2
65 = c^2
Take the square root of each side
sqrt(65) = sqrt(c^2)
8.062257748 =c
To the nearest tenth
8.1 =c
