What is the perimeter of a right triangle with a base of 6, and a height of 8?

Explanation:

Use the Pythagorean Theorem to determine the hypotenuse.

a²+b²\=c²

Substitute the base and height.

6²+8²\=c²

36+64=c²

100=c²

Square root both sides

c=10

Add the sides to determine the perimeter.

6+8+10=24

The answer is: 24
