Question

If one leg of a right triangle is 6 units and the other leg is 8 units, what is the length of the hypotenuse?

Answer 1

The answer I believe is 10?

Answer 2

Answer: The length of the hypotenuse is 10 units.

Step-by-step explanation: If we use the Pythagorean theorem, we can figure out that 6 squared plus 8 squared equals 100. The square root of 100 is 10, so that is the length of the hypotenuse.
