10
Using Pythagoras' theorem for a right angle triangle if the legs are 6 and 8 then the hypotenuse works out as 10
The hypotenuse of a right triangle with legs of 8 and 10 is: 12.81
The length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle with legs of lengths 6 and 8 inches is: 10 inches.
The length of the hypotenuse is: 10
10
10 units in length
The hypotenuse is: about 12.81
the length of the hypotenuse is 10.63
Find the length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle whose legs are 8 and 15 units in length.
Using the (a^2)+(b^2) = (c^2) formula, the hypotenuse is 10cm.
Being a right-triangle, apply Pythagoras. Hence h^(2) = a^(2) + b^(2) Substitute h^(2) = 6^(2) + 8^(2) h^(2) = 36 + 64 h^(2) = 100 Square root BOTH sides. h = 10 (The length of the hypotenuse.
Using Pythagoras theorem: 6^2 + 8^2 = 100 and its square root is 10 which is the length of the hypotenuse
