  1. 4-6 Lesson 4-6 Example 4 Find the length of the hypotenuse of the right triangle. Step 1 Find the lengths of the legs a and b. a =18 and b =24

  2. 4-6 Lesson 4-6 Example 4 Find the length of the hypotenuse of the right triangle. Step 2 Substitute the values of a and b in the Pythagorean Theorem and solve for c. a2 + b2 = c2 Use the formula. 182 + 242 = c2Substitute the measure of each side. 324 + 576 = c2 Simplify the exponents.

  3. Take the square root of both sides. 4-6 Lesson 4-6 Example 4 Find the length of the hypotenuse of the right triangle. 900= c2 Add. 30 = c Simplify the square roots. The length of the hypotenuse is 30units.
