A corner construction lot has the shape of a right triangle. if the two sides perpendicular to each other are 39 m long and 46.3 m long, what is the length of the hypotenuse?

Use phytagorean theorem to solve the problem

c² = a² + b²

with c as hypotenuse, a and b are the two sides which are perpendicular to each other.

Plug the numbers into the formula

c² = a² + b²

c² = (46.3) ² + 39²

c² = 2,143.69 + 1,521

c² = 3,664.69

c = √3,664.69

c = 60.53668 ...

to the nearest hundredth

c = 60.54

The length of the hypotenuse is 60.54 m
