Answer:

15 cm

Explanation:

Write out the formula: a^2 + b^2 = c^2

Plug in the numbers that you were given: a^2 + 6^2 = 16^2

Solve for the numbers that you were given: a^2 + 36 = 256

Subtract: - 36 = - 36

a^2 = 220

Then, you find your answer: a^2 = 220

The square root of 220 is 14.832396974191326. But you are going to round it and you get 15. So, the answer is 15 cm.

Hope this helps
