Length of the Hypotenuse of a Right Triangle

Easy Problem Solving Geometry

A right triangular park has one leg that measures 6 meters and another leg that measures 8 meters.

What is the length of the hypotenuse of the park?

To find the hypotenuse (c), use the Pythagorean theorem: $$a^2 + b^2 = c^2$$, where:

  • a is one leg of the triangle
  • b is the other leg of the triangle
  • c is the hypotenuse
