Question

Use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the missing measure

Answer 1

Before answering the question let's cover over Pythagorean Theorem.


`a^(2) + b^(2) = √(c)`

We would first find six squared and then we would find 8 squared and add those numbers together.


`6^(2)` = 36

`8^(2)` = 64

We then add these numbers.

64+36=100

We are almost done! Now we just need to find the square root of 100. In this case, we find square root by finding a number that can be multiplied by itself which would be 10 in this scenario.


`10^(2)` = 100

Therefore, the square root of 100 would be 10 and the answer would also be 10. The missing measure is 10m.

The missing measure is 10m.

Answer 2

A^2 + B^2 = C^2
6^2 + 8^2 = C^2
C is 10^2
