A right triangle has legs that measure 8 feet and 6 feet. What is the length of the hypotenuse?
a) 2 feet
b) 5 feet
c) 10 feet
d) 14 feet

Answer 1

c) 10 feet

Explanation:

Pythagorean theorum! Wonderful! (remember that c is the hypotenuse)

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

8^2 + 6^2 = c^2

64 + 36 = c^2

100 = c^2

square root of 100 = c^2

10 = c^2
