If one leg on a right triangle is 8 and the other leg on a right triangle is 6, what is the hypotenuse?
The hypotenuse of a right triangle C can be found if you have the lengths of the other two sides A and B: A^2+B^2=C^2. This is called the Pythagorean Theorem. In this case, 8^2+6^2=C^2. Solve for C and you get 10. The length of the hypotenuse is 10!
