Hi there!
Use the Pythagorean theorem to find the length of the line.
If we draw an imaginary right triangle using the given line as the hypotenuse, we can derive a height of 6 units and a length of 10 units.
Use the Pythagorean theorem equation:
c² = a² + b²
Plug in the height and length:
c² = 6² + 10²
Simplify:
c² = 36 + 100
c² = 136
Take the square root of both sides:
c = √136. The correct answer is D.
