6. A right triangle has legs of lengths 2cm and 4cm. Find the exact length of the hypotenuse, then use a calculator to approximate that length. Finally, approximate the measure of the non-right angles in the triangle. Draw and label the triangle for me and be sure to show me how you get your answers (as always) Please clearly show your work so it can be easily followed
