Answer 2

Finding the Hypotenuse

To find the hypotenuse of a right-angled triangle when the lengths of the two perpendicular sides (legs) are given, you can use the Pythagorean theorem. The theorem states that the square of the length of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the lengths of the other two sides.

Given: - Length of one leg (a) = 2 cm - Length of the other leg (b) = 5 cm

Using the Pythagorean theorem: c^2 = a^2 + b^2 c^2 = 2^2 + 5^2 c^2 = 4 + 25 c^2 = 29

Taking the square root of both sides: c = √29 c ≈ 5.385 cm

Therefore, the length of the hypotenuse is approximately 5.385 cm.
