Answer:

c = 10

Explanation:

Use Pythagoras theorem: a² + b² = c²

where 'a' and 'b' are legs and 'c' is the hypotenuse (the longest side)

Here given: a = 8 cm, b = 6 cm, c = ?

Substituting values:

8² + 6² = c²

c² = 64 + 36

c² = 100

c = √100

c = 10

Answer:

10 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]a^2=b^2+c^2[/tex]

[tex]a^2=6^2+8^2[/tex]

[tex]a^2=100[/tex]

[tex]\sqrt{a^2}=\sqrt{100[/tex]

a=10
