Following the Pythagorean Theorem, you can solve this problem by plugging in your given values into the equation.

In the theorem's equation, a is the length of the shortest leg of the triangle, b is the length of the longest leg and c is the length of the hypothenuse.

The given values are

  • a = 2
  • b = 6
  • c = ?

Now plug in and solve:

2² + 6² = c²

4 + 36 = c²

40 = c²

Now take the square root of both sides to find c: c = √40
