Verified Answer :

the square root of 65 units

Answer:

Correct option is:

B. square root 65 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Pythagorean theorem states that the square of hypotenuse is equal to the sum of squares of the legs of the right angled triangle.

Here, we are given that:

The legs of a right triangle are 4 units and 7 units.

By Pythagoras theorem

Hypotenuse²=4² +7²

                     = 16+49

                     = 65

⇒ Hypotenuse= \(\sqrt{65}\)

Hence, Correct option is:

B. square root 65 units
