The length of the hypotenuse can be found using the Pythagorean theorem, which states that the square of the length of the hypotenuse (c) is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides.
c^2 = 2^2 + 7^2
c^2 = 4 + 49
c^2 = 53
Taking the square root of both sides gives:
c = √53
c ≈ 7.3 meters
Therefore, the length of the hypotenuse is approximately 7.3 meters.
