Question

Help with the length of the third side?

Answer 1

C. c = 10

Explanation:

You have to use the Pythagorean theorem:

c² = 6² + 8²

c² = 36 + 64

c² = 100

c = √100

c = 10

Answer 2

c = 10

Explanation:

Since this is a right triangle, we can use the Pythagorean theorem

a^2 + b^2 = c^2 where a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse

6^2 + 8^2 = c^2

36+64= c^2

100 = c^2

Take the square root of each side

sqrt(100) = sqrt(c^2)

10 -c
