A right triangle has legs that measure 8 feet and 6 feet. What is the length of the hypotenuse?

The hypotenuse is 10 ft, which you can find using the Pythagorean Theorem:

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

8^2 + 6^2 = c^2

64 + 36 = c^2

100 = c^2

c = 10 ft

B. 2 1/2 feet. multiply 2.5 inches by 12 to get thirty inches then divide by 12 to get 2.5 feet
