Question 3 of 5

Pythagorean Theorem

The Pythagorean theorem defines the relationship between the side lengths of a right triangle. The length of the hypotenuse squared (c²) is equal to the sum of the two perpendicular sides squared (a² + b²): c²= a² + b² or, solved for c, $c = \sqrt{a + b}$

$\sqrt{68}$

If side a = 8, side b = 2, what is the length of the hypotenuse of this right triangle?

	$ \sqrt{68} $
	$ \sqrt{50} $
	$ \sqrt{13} $
	$ \sqrt{117} $

	\( \sqrt{68} \)
	\( \sqrt{50} \)
	\( \sqrt{13} \)
	\( \sqrt{117} \)
