Question 28555: A right triangle is a triangle with one angle measuring 90 degrees. In a right triangle, the sides are related by Pythagorean Theorem, c to 2nd power + a to 2nd power + b to 2nd power, where c is the hypotenuse (the side opposite the 90 degree angle). Find the hypotenuse when the other 2 sides' measurements are 6 feet and 8 feet.

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
c^2=6^2+8^2
c^2=36+64
c^2=100
c=10 ft.
