Question

If the legs of a right triangle are 8 and 10, find the length of the hypotenuse.

Answer 1

Pythagorean Theorem:
\(a^2 + b^2 = c^2\)
You have a = 8 and b = 10. Solve for c.

Answer 2

64+100=164

Answer 3

Ok.
That means
\(164 = c^2\) or
\(c^2 = 164\)
Now take the square root of 164 to find c, the length of the hypotenuse.

Answer 4

80square root of 2

Answer 5

\[80\sqrt{2}\]

Answer 6

Not quite.
To simplify a square root, you need to factor out the largest perfect square.
\( \sqrt{164} = \sqrt { 4 \times 41} = 2 \sqrt{41}\)
