Given:
Given that the length of the two legs of the right triangle are 28 m and 45 m.
We need to determine the length of the hypotenuse.
Length of the hypotenuse:
The length of the hypotenuse can be determined using the Pythagorean theorem.
Thus, we have;
[tex]hyp^2=28^2+45^2[/tex]
Simplifying, we get;
[tex]hyp^2=784+2025[/tex]
[tex]hyp^2=2809[/tex]
Taking square root on both sides, we get;
[tex]hyp=\sqrt{2809}[/tex]
[tex]hyp=53 \ m[/tex]
Thus, the length of the hypotenuse is 53 m
Hence, Option C is the correct answer.
