Question

Use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the missing measure

Answer 1

 Before answering the question let's cover over  Pythagorean Theorem. 

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

We would first find six squared and then we would find 8 squared and add those numbers together. 

$6^{2}$ = 36
$8^{2}$ = 64

We then add these numbers. 
 
64+36=100 

We are almost done! Now we just need to find the square root of 100. In this case, we find square root by finding a number that can be multiplied by itself which would be 10 in this scenario. 

$10^{2}$ = 100

Therefore, the square root of 100 would be 10 and the answer would also be 10. The missing measure is 10m. 

The missing measure is 10m.

Answer 2

A^2 + B^2 = C^2
6^2 + 8^2 = C^2
C is 10^2
