Question

How many feet long is the hypotenuse of the right triangle? A right triangle with legs 6 feet and 8 feet.

Answer 1

Explanation:

In this case, the length of the legs are 6 feet and 8 feet, so the length of the hypotenuse can be found by solving:

→
`c^(2) = a^(2) + b^(2)`

→
`c^(2) = 6^(2) + 8^(2)`

→
`c^(2) = 36 + 64`

→
`c^(2) = 100`

→
`c = √(100)`

→ c = 10

The length of Hypotenuse is 10 feet.
