What is the main purpose of Pythagorean's theroem?

It is for working out the side lengths of right angle triangles in which Pythagoras' theorem states that for any right angle triangle its hypotenuse when squared is equal to the sum of its two squared sides.

Find the hypotenue of a right triangle whose sides measure 6in 8in?

Because the 2 shorter sides are 6 and 8 in, and it is an right triangle, this is automatically a Pythagorean Triple. This is a 6-8-10 triangle, thus, the hypotenuse is 10 in.Elsewise, you can find the answer using the plain Pythagorean Theroem:62 + 82 = x236 + 64 = x2100 = x210 = x
