Question

2. Draw a right triangle with side lengths of 6 centimeters, 8 centimeters,

and 10 centimeters, using a protractor to ensure that one angle is exactly
90°. Now make and cut out three squares; one with 6-centimeter long
sides, one with 8-centimeter long sides, and one with 10 centimeter long
sides. Place each square next to the corresponding sides of the triangle,
Which side is the hypotenuse in your diagram?

Answer 1

the ten-inch side is the hypotenuse.

Explanation:

`a^(2)+ b^(2) =c^(2)`

a= 6

b= 8

c= 10

use substitution to replace the variables in the equation, it should look like this:

36+64=100

the equation above is true, so the answer is that the 10-inch side is the hypotenuse.

*** I couldn't make a diagram on here, so I explained the math. hope this helps
