1. The lengths of the two sides of the right triangles are 6 and 8. What is the length of the
hypotenuse?

Answer 1

Answer:

hypotenuse = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

If you can tell at first glance it is a 3,4,5 triangle (6,8,10)/2=(3,4,5). Then you know that c has to equal 5.

If not,

a^2+b^2=c^2

6^2+8^2=c^2

36+64=c^2

100=c^2

10=c
