Triangle ABC is a right triangle. Triangle ABC has a right angle at C. The three sides are labeled as follows: The side between angle A and angle B is c. The side between angle A and angle C is b. The side between angle B and angle C is a. Use the given information to find the length of the third side of the triangle. a = 6 and c = 7 b =
