    73 inches

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Hypotenuse² = base² + height²

    Hypotenuse² = 48² + 55²

    Hypotenuse² = 5329

    Hypotenuse = sqrt (5329)

    Hypotenuse = 73 in

    73

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Here is the formula for the hypotenuse of a right triangle:

    c=√ (a^2+b^2)

    Let's plug in the values.

    c = √ (48^2 + 55^2)

    = √ (2304 + 3025)

    = √ (5329)

    = 73

    So, the hypotenuse, or c, is 73.
