You can find the missing side of a right triangle by using the Pythagorean Theorem (a² + b² = c²), where c is the hypotenuse. So, just plug the given numbers in and solve for c.

a² + b² = c²   Plug 6 and 8 in for a and b (order doesn't matter)
6² + 8² = c²   Square both numbers
36 + 64 = c²   Add
100 = c²   Take the square root of both sides
10 = c   Switch the sides of the equation to make it easier to read
c = 10

So, the hypotenuse of the triangle is 10 cm.

You require the Pythagorean Theorem: in a right triangle, the sum of the squares of the legs equals the square of the hypotenuse.In this case 6^2 + 8^2 = 36 + 64 = 100 = 10^2
 the hypotenuse is 10.

MAVERICK [17]
A triangle is scalene if all of its three sides are different (in which case, the three angles are also different). If two of its sides are equal, a triangle is called isosceles. A triangle with all three equal sides is called equilateral

The sum of two numbers is 167. The second number is 29 less than three times the first number. Fine the numbers. The two require
Anettt [7]

Answer:

49 and 118

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the two numbers be x and y

x+y = 167

y = 3x-29

Substitute into the first equation

x+ 3x-29 = 167

Combine like terms

4x - 29 = 167

add 29 to each side

4x = 167+29

4x = 196

Divide by 4

4x/4 = 196/4

x = 49

x+y = 167

49+y = 167

y = 167-49

y =118

PLS ANSWER

<h3>Answer: Choice A</h3>

Explanation:

Label the three points as

P = (2,1)

Q = (5,1)

R = (6,1)

If you were to apply the slope formula for segment PQ, then you should get m = 0. If you computed the slope of segment QR, you should also get m = 0. The same goes for segment PR.

The fact we get the same slope each time tells us we have a straight line.

A visual approach is to plot the three points. They are all on the same straight line.
