If side a = 6, side b = 9, what is the length of the hypotenuse of this right triangle?
question-img
\(\sqrt{117}\)
\(\sqrt{89}\)
\(\sqrt{113}\)
\(\sqrt{90}\)
Detailed Explanation
According to the Pythagorean theorem, the hypotenuse squared is equal to the sum of the two perpendicular sides squared: \( c^2= a^2+ b^2 = 6^2 + 9^2 = 117\)
\(c= \sqrt{117}\).
