A right triangle has legs of lengths 6 m and 9 m. What is the length of the hypotenuse?
+109 Pythagorean's Theorem states that, with respect to triangles:
$${{\mathtt{A}}}^{{\mathtt{2}}}{\mathtt{\,\small\textbf+\,}}{{\mathtt{B}}}^{{\mathtt{2}}} = {{\mathtt{C}}}^{{\mathtt{2}}}$$
Where A, and B, are side lengths, and C is the hypotenuse. Since you know both A, and B, in terms of meters, we're left with one variable.
$${\mathtt{36}}{\mathtt{\,\small\textbf+\,}}{\mathtt{81}} = {{\mathtt{C}}}^{{\mathtt{2}}}$$
Solving for C gives us:
$${\mathtt{C}} = {\sqrt{{\mathtt{117}}}}$$
