For this question, you must use the Pythagorean theorem.
a^2 + b^2 = c^2

In this situation c=16 and a=6

Now, subtract 36 from 256 and fond the square root.

Your answer should be 14.8

<span>Rounded numbers are easier to work with in your head. They are only approximate. An exact answer can not be obtained with these numbers. Sometimes an exact answer is not required.To round numbers to the nearest ten thousand, make the numbers whose last four digits are 0001 through 4999 into the next lower number that ends in 0000. For example 54,424 rounded to the nearest ten thousand would be 50,000. Numbers that have the last four digits of 5000 or more should be rounded up to the next even ten thousand. The number 78,988 rounded to the nearest ten thousand would be 80,000.this might help you understand
