A%5E2%2BB%5E2=H%5E2
The assumption here is that the height and base are not the longest leg of the triangle.
10%5E2%2B8%5E2=H%5E2
100%2B64=H%5E2
H%5E2=164
H=sqrt%28164%29=2sqrt%2841%29

As per pythagorean theorem,
hyp%5E2+=+base%5E2+%2B+height%5E2
So, hyp+=+sqrt%28base%5E2+%2B+height%5E2%29
hyp = sqrt(10^2 + 8^2) = sqrt(164) = 12.8
