Question 29234
The Pythagorean Theorem is c^2=a^2+b^2 for a right triangle.
you can use tangent, cosin, or sin to find the hypotenuse, but we will use the easy way. "a" is the measurement of one of the sides, while "b" is the measurement of the other side.
c^2=a^2+b^2
c^2=(8)^2+(6)^2
c^2=64+36
c^2=100
c=10
The hypotenuse is 10 feet!
