Answer :

Answer:

This is a Pythagorean Theorem Problem, the answer is 10.

Step-by-step explanation:

In pythagoras theorem we find the formula A^2 + B^2 = C^2

If we use 6 for A, and 8 for B, we get 6^2 + 8^2 = C^2 This evolves to 100 = C^2. The square root of this is 10, which is your answer. C=10.
