If a right triangle one leg measure 4 inches and the other leg measures 6 inches. What is the length of the hypotenuse in inches

Applying the Pythagorean Theorem:

a² + b² = c², where a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse,

4² + 6² = c²

16 + 36 = c²

50 = c²

c = √50 = √ (2) (√25) = 5√2

Length of hypotenuse is 5√2 inches
