The length of the hypotenuse c is 6

How to determine the length of c?

The given parameters are

Legs = a and b

Hypotenuse = c

a = 2√3

c = 2b

Make b the subject in c = 2b

b = 1/2c

By Pythagoras theorem, we have:

c^2 = a^2 + b^2

This gives

c^2 = (2√3)^2 + (1/2c)^2

Evaluate the exponents

c^2 = 12 + 1/4c^2

Evaluate the like terms

1/3c^2 = 12

This gives

c^2 = 36

Take the square roots

c = 6

Hence, the length of the hypotenuse c is 6
