First, we're given a right triangle with a side length of 6 and another side length of 10 and asked to find the hypotenuse.
00:07
Because it's a right triangle, we can use the pythagorean theorem.
00:10
A squared plus b squared is equal to c squared.
00:13
So in this case, either 6 or 10 could be a and the other one can be b.
00:18
So if i do 6 squared plus 10 squared equals c squared, 6 squared is 36, 10 squared is 100.
00:27
Combining those gives me 136.
00:30
If i take the square root of both sides, c is approximately 11 .66, and so it tells me to round to one decimal place, so we would round this to 11 .7 units, inches, centimeters, whatever those side lengths measure in.

So that's the hypotenuse of that triangle...
