Given a right triangle with:
side length = 6 and side length = 8
Calculate the Hypotenuse:
Pythagorean Theorem Formula
Side12 + Side22 = Hypotenuse2
Solve for Hypotenuse
Take the square root of both sides
Hypotenuse = √Side 12 + Side 22
Plug in Side 1 = 6 and Side 2 = 8
Hypotenuse = √62 + 82
Hypotenuse = √36 + 64
Hypotenuse = √100
Final Answer
Hypotenuse = 10
