Answer 1

The answer is Letter C

Explanation:

Answer 2

C

Explanation:

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

`6^(2)` +
`8^(2)` =
`c^(2)` The 6 comes from the vertical distance from the points nad the 8 comes from the horizontal distance. We are making a right triangle so that we can apply the Pythagorean Theorem.

36 + 64 =
`c^(2)`

100 =
`c^(2)`

`\sqrt100}` =
`\sqrt{c^(2) }`

10 = c
