Question

A right triangle has a hypotenuse of length 10 meters. One leg is 6 meters long. What is the length of the other leg of the triangle?

A. 4 m

B. v8

C. v136

D. 8 m

Answer 1

D) 8 meters

Explanation:

You must use the pythagorean theorem

The hypotenuse (or c) is 10

a is 6

`10^(2) -6^(2) =64`

`√(64)` = 8

Answer 2

D because the two sides have to be larger than the hypotenuse when added
