The Pythagoras rule states that the square hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides

In this case, we are given both sides' measures and are asked about the hypotenuse. We leave the hypotenuse on the left side alone by applying the square root on both sides

L = √64+36

L= √100

L = 10

Use Pythagoras rule to find the slant height of a cone a height of 8 and base radius-example-1
