Question

If a and b are two sides of a right triangle, find the length of the hypotenuse, c.
with a =6 b=2 c=?

Answer 1

by pythagoras c = sqrt(6^2 + 2^2)

Answer 2

To expand on what laugharne said, the pythagorian theorem is \[A ^{2}+B ^{2}=C ^{2}\] It works for all triangles to find a missing length of a side as long as you have the other two.

Answer 3

think of it as a squared + b squared equals c squared so 6 times 6 is 36 and 2 times 2 is 4
36+4=c squared. This means 40 is c square , the square root of forty is 6.32... so that is side C the hypotenuse.

Answer 4

2 sqrt 10

Answer 5

?

Answer 6

2 sqrt 10 is equal to 6.3246 using the formula the first answerer gave me
