Respuesta :

Answer:

The answer to your question is  c = [tex]\sqrt{2593}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

right triangle

short leg = 17 cm

long leg = 48 cm

hypotenuse = ?

Process

-Use the Pythagorean theorem to find the answer

              c² = a² + b²

c = hypotenuse

a = short leg = 17 cm

b = long leg = 48 cm

- Substitution

             c² = 17² + 48²

-Simplification

             c² = 289 + 2304

             c² = 2593

-Result

             c = [tex]\sqrt{2593}[/tex]

Answer:

A is the correct answer
