Question

Select the correct answer.
1. The hypotenuse of a right triangle of sides 8 cm and 6 cm is
a. 7 cm
b. 10 cm
c. 14 cm
d. 5 cm

Answer 1

Answer:

Option b

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1:8²+6²=x²

step 2: 64+36=x²

step 3: =x²

step 4:(10)²=x²

step 5:10=x

x=10cm

Answer 2

Answer:

b. 10 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

( hyp )^2 = 8^2 + 6^2

= 64 + 36

( hyp )^2 = 100 = 10^2

hyp = 10

Therefore, the hypotenuse of a right triangle of sides 8 cm and 6 cm is 10 cm
