Question

Find the length of the missing side.
The triangle is not drawn to scale.
A) 28
B) 100
C) 10
D) 48

Answer 1

use pythagorean theorem

Answer 2

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

Answer 3

a, b - are legs
c - is the hypotenuse

Answer 4

The answer is 10

Answer 5

10 looks wrong

Answer 6

It's a 3,4, 5 triangle so the sides are 6, 8, and 10

Answer 7

how can we know its a 3,4,5 triangle ?

Answer 8

softball girl is right
You can always check using the long way

a^2 + b^2= c^2
6^2 + 8^2 = c^2
36+64= c^2
100= c^2
Square root both sides
c=10

Answer 9

And you know 3,4,5
Because 6 and 8 can both be reduced by 2
So 3 and 4
And since your missing the longest side, hypotenuse, of the right triangle
So a 3,4,5 right triangle
