Answer: The answer is “10cm”

Step-by-step explanation: To get to this answer we first need to know the formula for find the hypotenuse which is a^2 + b^2 = c^2. A and B are the two sides in this case a and b are 8 cm and 6 cm. Then you plug in the values into the equation, it looks like this 8^2 + 6^ = c^2 once you solve you get 64 + 36 = c. When you add 64 and 36 you get 100 but their is one more step. You must find the square root of 100 which is 10. So your answer for the hypotenuse is “10cm”

Have a nice day!
