Minnie · Answer 1

If two sides of a right triangle are x and y, the hypotenuse, h is:

h^2=x^2+y^2, in this case x and y are 39 and 52 respectively so:

h^2=39^2+52^2

h^2=1521+2704

h^2=4225

h=√4225

h=65 in

So the hypotenuse is 65 inches.

The hypotenuse would be 65.

First of all, you have to know what an hypotenuse is. Then you do A squared x B squared then you add them and find the square of that.
