Question 82080
Length of side a= 6 feet
Length of side b = 8 feet
Length of the hypotenuse c=?
According to pythagorean theorem, we have c2 = a2 + b2
plugging the values, we have
c2 = (6)square+(8)square
c2 = 36 + 64
c2= 100
c = square root of 100
c = 10 feet
hence the length of the hypotenuse = 10 feet
