Question

Find the missing side length of a right triangle length 6 height 8 and hypotenuse unknown

Answer 1

The answer would be 10 units.

I hope this helped!

Answer 2

Answer: 10

Step-by-step explanation:

You need to apply the Pythagorean Theorem:

$a^2=b^2+c^2$

Where "a" is the hypotenuse and "b" and "c" are the legs of the right triangle.

Since you need to calculate the value of the hypotenuse, you need to solve for "a":

$a=\sqrt{b^2+c^2}$

You know the lenght of two sides of the right triangle (6 and 8) Then, you can  substitute these values into $a=\sqrt{b^2+c^2}$.

Therefore, the hypotenuse of this right triangle is:

 $a=\sqrt{6^2+8^2}$

 $a=10$
