The hypotenuse of a right triangle is the triangle's longest side, i.e., the side opposite the right angle. The word derives from the Greek hypo- ("under") and teinein ("to stretch").
Pythagorean Theorem In algebraic terms, a2 + b2 = c2 where c is the hypotenuse while a and b are the sides of the triangle.
A = 6
B = 8
6 squared + 8 Squared = C squared
6 squared = 36
8 squared = 64
36 + 64 = 100
C = 10
The Hypotenuse is 10
