Question

Plz help I really need it

Answer 1

6 squared + 8 squared = c squared
36 + 64 = c squared
100= c squared
Than you take the square root of 100 which is 10.
So the length of your hypotenuse would be 10

Answer 2

hypotenuse = 10 in.

Explanation:

Use the Pythagorean theorem:

`hypotenuse^2=leg^2+leg^2`

We have

`leg=6\ in,\ leg=8\ in`

Substitute:

`hypotenuse^2=6^2+8^2\\\\hypotenuse^2=36+64\\\\hypotenuse^2=100\Rightarrow hypotenuse=√(100)\\\\hypotenuse=10\ in`
