Question

Need help with this Pythagorean theorem formula. In a right triangle ,find the length not given? c=hypotenuse, a=6,b=8. use radicals as needed

Answer 1

Answer: c = 10

Explanation:

Pythagorean Theorem states that in a right triangle
`a^2 + b^2 = c^2`, where a and b are the legs of the triangle and c is the hypotenuse. Thus, because a=6 and b=8, 36+64=c². Thus 100=c². Thus 10=c
