What is the perimeter of a right triangle with a base of 6, and a height of 8?
Explanation:
Use the Pythagorean Theorem to determine the hypotenuse.
a²+b²\=c²
Substitute the base and height.
6²+8²\=c²
36+64=c²
100=c²
Square root both sides
c=10
Add the sides to determine the perimeter.
6+8+10=24
The answer is: 24
