Question

Check @jim_thompson5910
In the right triangle below, a = 6 cm and b = 8 cm. What is c?

A. 10 cm because c ^2 = a^ 2 + b ^2 <-----
B. 14 cm because c = a + b
C. 48 cm because c = ab
D. 100 cm because c ^2 = a ^2 +b ^2

Answer 1

Yup, but can You tell me what the name of the theorem you used was?

Answer 2

that is correct

Answer 3

\[a^2+b^2=c^2\] \[(6)^2+(8)^2=c^2\] \[36+64=c^2\]\[100=c^2 \] \[c=10\] it is the pythagorean theorem

Answer 4

Yeah! I used the triangle thing theory. I can't pronounce it or spell it. :)

Answer 5

It's the Pythagorean Theorem

Answer 6

yes. :)

Answer 7
