Question

1)A right triangle is a triangle with one angle measuring 90°. In a right triangle, the lengths of the sides are related by the Pythagorean Theorem, , where c is the length of the hypotenuse (the side opposite the 90° angle). Find the length of the hypotenuse when the other two sides’ measurements are 6 feet and 8 feet.

Answer 1

6squared plus 8 squared equals X squared.
36+64=X2
100=X2
X=10

Answer 2

If you use the pythagorean theorem, it is very easy. A^2 + B^2 = C^2. That's if you want to show your work. But remember, there are a few right triangles that you can memorize and not have to do the work. Here are a couple:

If the sides of a triangle are multiples of 3 and 4 (ie 6,8), then the hypotenuse is the corresponding multiple of 5.

Also, if the sides lengths are 5 and 12, the same rule applies for 13.

Answer 6

The answer is 10 feet.

The square on the hypotenuse, is equal to the sum of the squares on the other two sides.
e.g. 6squared plus 8squared = 100 (36+64)
therefore the square on the hypotenuse is also 100
The square root of 100 is 10
Hence the length of the hypotenuse is 10 feet.

Answer 7

Remember one important point the sides are opposite to the angle in any geometrical figure.
so if c is the hypotenuse then opposite it would be angle c which would be the right angle.

and Hypotenuse square = sum of sqyuares of the other two sides.

hence hypotenuse = 10 feet.

Answer 8

A2+B2=C2
(6x6)+(8x8)=(2/100)=10

Answer 9

c² = a² + b²

c² = 6² + 8²

c² = 100

c = 10
.

Answer 10

Let's see... it's... c=10 feet
that is the length of the hypotenuse.
