What is the length of the hypotenuse?
C =
yards

The length of the hypotenuse is 10 yards.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that this is a right triangle, you could apply the Pythagorean Theorem to it. Although I'm not exactly sure, given as there's no indication in your question.

The Pythagorean Theorem is a^2 + b^2 = c^2, for context.

So, 6^2 + 8^2 = ?^2.

6^2 = 36

8^2 = 64

64 + 36 = 100

However, 100 isn't the side length of c, it's c squared. To "unsquare" it, you need to find the square root of it.

In this case, the square root of 100 is 10.

6^2 + 8^2 = 10^2. Makes sense, right?

36   + 64  = 100

Hope this helps.
