    Yes, D is correct as long as the 8 is a 6. Was the 8 supposed to be a 6 instead?

    I agree with Brady.  The correct answer is 10.6.

    Well, it is still correct, even though when solved, it would be closer to 10.6 as the approximate value.
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
7^2 + 8^2 = c^2
49 + 64 = c^2
113 = c^2
10.630145812734649407999121914929 = c
10.630145812734649407999121914929 is closer to 10.6, but in this case 10.8 is correct.
I hope this helps! :)
