While constructing a square root spiral, a student takes the previous hypotenuse as one side and 1 unit as the other side of each new right triangle. If the previous hypotenuse is \(\sqrt{5}\) units, what will be the length of the new hypotenuse?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: \(\sqrt{6}\)

For the new right triangle, hypotenuse² = \((\sqrt{5})^2+1^2=5+1=6\). Hence the new hypotenuse is \(\sqrt{6}\) units. \(\sqrt{10}\) would result if the other side were also \(\sqrt{5}\). Exam tip: square the radical before applying Pythagoras’ theorem.
