Question

Consider a right triangle that has these dimensions: The side opposite angle A is 6 meters and the side adjacent angle A is 8 meters. How long is the hypotenuse?

Answer 1

Hypotenuse is `10` meters.

Explanation:

The question mentions that "the side opposite angle A is 6 meters and the side adjacent angle A is 8 meters. How long is the hypotenuse?"

It appears that the two sides, other than hypotenuse, are `6` and `8`.

As hypotenuse of a right triangle is given by `h=sqrt(a^2+b^2)` and `a` and `b` are `6` and `8` meters,

Hypotenuse is `sqrt(6^2+8^2)=sqrt(36+64)=sqrt100=10` meters.
