Question

What does h equal? and explain if you can

Answer 1

since this is a right triangle, you can use the pythagorean theorem:
(a^2+b^2=c^2)
your formula will be:

`{6}^(2) + {b}^(2) = {8}^(2)`
your hypotenuse will take the place of c. (8) and 6 will take the place of a.
simplify the squares:

`36 + {b}^(2) = 64`
subtract 36 from each side:

`{b}^(2) = 28`
un-square the b by square rooting 28.
this will come out as a large # that's equal to:

`2 √(7)`
