Answer:

8.556

Step-by-step explanation:

Since this is a right triangle, we are going to use pythagorean theorem to find third side.

[tex] {a}^{2} + {b}^{2} = {c}^{2} [/tex]

where a and b are the side that form a 90 degree angle

and c is the hypotenuse. Let put our values in

[tex] {6}^{2} + {6.1}^{2} = c {}^{2} [/tex]

36+37.21=73.21

Then take the sqr root of 73.21

[tex] \sqrt{73.21} [/tex]

which is about 8.556

Answer:

[tex]8.556cm[/tex] (rounded to 3 decimal points)

Step-by-step explanation:

I would personally use the Pythagorean theorem because this is a right triangle BE CAREFULLY WITH THE FORMULA because this formula is for finding the hypotenuse:

[tex]a^2+b^2=c^2[/tex]

[tex]6^2 + 6.1^2 = c^2[/tex]

[tex]36+37.21 = c^2[/tex]

[tex]73.21 = c^2[/tex]

[tex]\sqrt{73.21} = \sqrt{c^2 }[/tex]

[tex]8.556 cm[/tex]

YOU CAN TOTALLY USE THE RULER!!

My eyes are just too bad for that.
