Answer:
Its not a perfect square
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this problem, we will follow the steps below;
If length of the legs of the triangle are 4 inches and 6 inches, to find the length of the hypotenuse, we will simply use the formula from the hypotenuse triangle;
hypotenuse² = opposite² + adjacent²
= 4² + 6²
= 16 + 36
hypotenuse² = 52
hypotenuse = √52
hypotenuse =7.2111025509.........
Therefore hypotenuse is not a rational number because the 52 is not a perfect square and thus √52 has an unending values
