Question

If AB is 8 feet, and BC is 6 feet, which is the length of AC? A. 10 feet B. 14 feet C. 24 feet D. none of the above

Answer 1

If AC is the hypothenuse, then the answer is A. 10 feet.

The equation you would use is a squared+b squared=c squared

So basically it would be (8x8)+(6x6)=c squared

Then you would add the known numbers together: 64+36=100

And last you find the square root of the total (10) and that’s your answer

Answer 2

A. 10 feet

Also next time please include the fact that it’s a right triangle or has a 90 degree angle
