Question

i need help with math.

Answer 1

We have a right angle triangle, so we can use Pythagoras theorem

\( a^2 + b^2 = c^2\)

Answer 2

yea but which numbers go where?

Answer 3

So in a right angle triangle, we have two legs and the hypotenuse

`a` and `b` are our legs, and `c` is the hypotenuse.

Answer 4

So we're solving for the hypotenuse which is our 'x' in the question

The other two numbers can go in place of 'a' and 'b'

Answer 5

so would it be written out like 8^2 + 6^2 = x^2 and then i would just solve it.??

Answer 6

That's correct!!

Answer 7

ok, thank you

Answer 8

Of course! Let me know if you want me to check your answer :)
