Question 4 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 = 6, side b = 8, what is the length of the hypotenuse of this right triangle?

	10
	\( \sqrt{50} \)
	\( \sqrt{61} \)
	\( \sqrt{52} \)
