Based on the Pythagorean Theorem, the correct statement is:
\(8^2 + 6^2 = x^2\), where x is the length of the hypotenuse.
\(64 + 36 = x^2\)
\(100 = x^2\)
\(x = 10\)
Therefore, the length of the hypotenuse is 10 units.
A right triangle is shown in the diagram below.
A triangle has a grid of 8 rows of squares with 8 squares in each row below its base and a grid of 6 rows of squares with 6 squares in each row along its height and a square along the hypotenuse of the triangle.
Based on the Pythagorean Theorem, which statement is correct?
