Question

find the distance between points a and b. now that we know the lengths of a and b, we can plug those values into the our the equation to find the length of side c. a² + b² = c² after using pythagorean theorem, what is the hypotenuse equal to? c = 8 c = 100 c = 64 c = 10

Explanation:

Step1: Identify a and b values

$a = 6$, $b = 8$

Step2: Apply Pythagorean theorem

$c^{2}=a^{2}+b^{2}=6^{2}+8^{2}=36 + 64=100$

Step3: Solve for c

$c=\sqrt{100}=10$

Answer:

c = 10
