Given:
The length of the book is 24 inches.
The width of the book is 21 inches.
To find:
The length of the hypotenuse
Explanation:
Using the Pythagoras theorem,
[tex]Hyp^2=Opp^2+Adj^2[/tex]On substitution, we get
[tex]\begin{gathered} Hyp^2=24^2+21^2 \\ =576+441 \\ =1017 \\ Hyp=\sqrt{1017} \\ =31.89\text{ inches} \end{gathered}[/tex]Thus, the length of the hypotenuse side is 31.89 inches.
The hypotenuse that measures with a ruler equals the hypotenuse.
Yes, the both are same always.
Final answer:
The length of the hypotenuse side is 31.89 inches.
