Hey there! :

Using the Pythagorean theorem, we can find the length of the hypotenuse:

90² + 90² = x²

8100 + 8100= x²

x² = 8100 + 8100

x² = 16200

x = √ 16200

C = 127.2

Hope this helps!

By the Pythagoras theorem,

[tex]:\implies\sf{ {90}^{2} + {90}^{2} = {x}^{2} } \\ \\ :\implies\sf{8100 + 8100 = {x}^{2} } \\ \\ :\implies\sf{ {x}^{2} = 8100 + 8100} \\ \\ :\implies\sf{ {x}^{2} = 16200} \\ \\ :\implies\sf{x = \sqrt{16200} } \\ \\ :\implies\sf{x = 127.2}[/tex]
