Question

Find the length of the missing side. The triangle is not drawn to scale.

Answer 1

Answer:

c = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the hypotenuse of the triangle you would do the value of leg^2 + leg^2 to find the hypotenuse. Or you can look at it like a^2 + b^2 = c^2. But in order to get the value you would have to find the scare root of c^2.

----------------------

In this case though we are doing 6^2 + 8^2 which equals 100. After calculating that we know c^2 power equals 100. So know you have to find the actual value of c by itself to get your hypotenuse. So we would find the square root of 100 which is 10. Hope this helps!!

Important words

Hypotenuse - In geometry, a hypotenuse is the longest side of a right-angled triangle, the side opposite the right angle.

Cathetus (legs of triangle) - Either of the sides that are adjacent to the right angle.
