Question

Find the missing length in the right triangle.

Answer 1

Answer: 10ft

Explanation:

Pythagorean Theorem- In a right triangle, a²+b²=c² where: (image attached)

a=6ft ; b=8ft

6ft²= 36ft ; 8ft²= 64ft

36+64=100ft

√100= 10ft

Answer 2

10 ft

Explanation:

By using the pythagorean theorem, we know that leg1 squared plus leg2 squared is equal to hypotenuse squared.

`6^2+8^2=?^2\\36+64=?^2\\100=?^2\\10=?`
