In a right-angled triangle, the Pythagoras theorem is used to find the hypotenuse. Then the hypotenuse is 32.2 inches.
It is a type of triangle in which one angle is 90 degrees and it follows the Pythagoras theorem and we can use the trigonometry function.
Given
A right triangle has legs measuring 16 inches And 28 inches.
We know the Pythagoras theorem
[tex]\rm Hypotenuse ^2 = Base ^2 + Perpendicular^2[/tex]
Then the hypotenuse will be.
[tex]\rm Hypotenuse ^2 = Base ^2 + Perpendicular^2\\\\\rm Hypotenuse ^2 = 16^2 + 28^2\\\\ \rm Hypotenuse ^2 = 256 + 784\\\\\rm Hypotenuse ^2 = 1040\\\\\rm Hypotenuse \ = 32.2[/tex]
Thus, the hypotenuse is 32.2 inches.
