6 cm

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is 10. To find the missing side of a right triangle we use the Pythagorean Theorem . A square + B square = C square. A=6 B = 8. Now we need to square them and add those numbers to find c square. 6×6=36 and 8×8=64. So, A square =36 and B square = 64. 36+64=100. So, C square =100. Now we don't want C square, we want C. So 100=C square. Take the square root of both and you get 10=C. That's your answer. Hope it helps.
