The length of the hypotenuse of a rigth triangle with sides of 6mm and 8mm?

Answer 1

The sides are a and b. The hypotenuse is c. Use the Pythagorean Theorem.

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

I'll be glad to check your answer.

Answer 2

100 is my answer

Answer 3

That's only one step of the problem. But 100 isn't a reasonable length.

You forgot to take the square root of 100.

Answer 4

so the answer is 10?

Answer 5

Yes. The hypotenuse is 10 mm long.
