Question

A right triangle has a hypotenuse of length 10 meters. One leg is 6 meters long. What is the length of the other leg of the triangle?

A. 4 m

B. v8

C. v136

D. 8 m

Answer 1

D because the two sides have to be larger than the hypotenuse when added

Answer 2

Answer:

D) 8 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

The hypotenuse (or c) is 10

a is 6

$10^{2} -6^{2} =64$

$\sqrt{64}$ = 8
