If a right triangle has side lengths of 6 and 8 cm, what is the length of the hypotenuse

1 answer

By using the Pythagorean theorem, you can find the length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle by taking the square root of the sum of the squares of the other two sides.

In this case, the length of the hypotenuse is:

√(6^2 + 8^2) = √(36 + 64) = √100 = 10 cm
