Question 3 of 5

Pythagorean Theorem

The Pythagorean theorem defines the relationship between the side lengths of a right triangle. The length of the hypotenuse squared (c²) is equal to the sum of the two perpendicular sides squared (a² + b²): c²= a² + b² or, solved for c, \(c = \sqrt{a + b}\)

If side a = 8, side b = 6, what is the length of the hypotenuse of this right triangle?

	\( \sqrt{8} \)
	\( \sqrt{68} \)
	\( \sqrt{85} \)
