Question

If a triangle has sides 12, 16, and 20, which length is the length of the hypotenuse?

Answer 1

To determine the length of the hypotenuse, we need to identify the longest side of the triangle. In this case, the side with a length of 20 is the longest, so it is the hypotenuse.

To determine the length of the hypotenuse, we need to identify the longest side of the triangle. In this case, the longest side is 20 units. Therefore, the length of the hypotenuse is 20 units.

To identify the length of the hypotenuse in a triangle, we need to determine which side is the longest in the triangle. In a right triangle, the hypotenuse is always the longest side and is opposite the right angle.

To solve this, we can compare the lengths of the three sides: 12, 16, and 20.

In this case, the side with length 20 is the longest side. Therefore, the length of the hypotenuse in this triangle is 20.
