To find the length of the hypotenuse (c), you can use the Pythagorean theorem, which states that the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides.
c^2 = a^2 + b^2
c^2 = 6^2 + 8^2
c^2 = 36 + 64
c^2 = 100
c = √100
c = 10 inches
So, the length of the hypotenuse (c) is 10 inches.
What is the length of the hypotenuse? If necessary, round to the nearest tenth.
c= inches
c, 6in, 8in
what's the steps?
