Question

what is the length of the hypotenuse? if necessary, rou
c =
submit

Explanation:

Step1: Apply Pythagorean theorem

$$c^{2}=a^{2}+b^{2}$$
Here \(a = 8\), \(b=6\). So \(c^{2}=8^{2}+6^{2}\)

Step2: Calculate \(a^{2}\) and \(b^{2}\)

\(8^{2}=64\), \(6^{2}=36\). Then \(c^{2}=64 + 36\)

Step3: Sum the values

\(c^{2}=100\)

Step4: Take square root

\(c=\sqrt{100}\)

Answer:

\(10\)
