Answer 7

:( ok well i'll do my best :)
In mathematics, the Pythagorean theorem, also known as Pythagoras's theorem, is a relation in Euclidean geometry among the three sides of a right triangle. It states that the square of the hypotenuse (the side opposite the right angle) is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides.-google
Do you understand this?

AB^2 = 6^2 + 8^2
AB^2 = 100
AB = 10

Answer 11

Do you get the work i showed?

Answer 12

Yes, sorry my internet is messing up! :( it's being very slow took me like 20 times to refresh the page.

Answer 17

I guessed it, I choose 10. @pooja195

Answer 18

im sorry for the late reply 10 is correct :)

Answer 19

it's okay, i found it like this. 6 + 2 = 8 + 2 = 10. So I was like i'm gonna go for it, I had a time limit so I had to guess all of them I got a 4/5 So for guessing I did pretty good.
