Question

In a right triangle, the square of the hypothenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the legs. If the legs of a right triangle are 6 and 8, find the lenght of the hypothenuse

Answer 1

The square of the hyp^2 = legA^2 + legB^2

Answer 2

You may have seen it before as a^2 + b^2 = c^2 where a and b are legs of a right triangle and c is the hypotenuse.

Answer 3

I got 10 is that right?

Answer 4

Yes.

6^2 + 8^2 = c^2

100= c^2

10=c
