A right triangle has side lengths of 0.6 meter and 0.8 meter. What is the length of the hypotenuse? Round to the nearest tenth. A. 0.1 meter
B. 0.5 meter
C. 1.0 meter
D. 4.8 meters

Use the Pythagorean theorem since you are working with a right triangle:

a^2+b^2=c^2a2+b2=c2

The legs are a and b and the hypotenuse is c. The hypotenuse is always opposite the 90° angle. Insert the appropriate values:

0.8^2+0.6^2=c^20.82+0.62=c2

Solve for c. Simplify the exponents (x^2=x*xx2=x∗x ):

0.64+0.36=c^20.64+0.36=c2

Add:

1=c^21=c2

Isolate c. Find the square root of both sides:

\begin{gathered}\sqrt{1}=\sqrt{c^2}sqrt{1}=c\end{gathered}1=c21=c

Simplify \sqrt{1}1 . Any root of 1 is 1:

c=c= ±11 *

c=1,-1c=1,−1

hope this !

step-by-step explanation:

d = distance between moon and sun, which in this problem is the hypotenuse of a right triangle.  

the distance y is the side opposite to angle x in the right triangle.   use the definition of the sine function from basic trigonometry.

sin(x) = y/d ⇒

d = y/sin(x)
