Question

Please help me find the length of the line!

Answer 1

Answer:

The length of the segment is 10.

Step-by-step explanation:

Think of the segment as the hypotenuse of a right triangle.

Draw the legs and label the lengths.

See the picture below.

The length of the hypotenuse is c.

c^2 = a^2 + b^2

c^2 = 6^2 + 8^2

c^2 = 36 + 64

c^2 = 100

c = 10

Answer: 10
