If the hypotenuse is 10 and one leg is 6, what is the length of the other leg?

Using the Pythagorean Theorem: $$b = \text{sqrt}(10^2 - 6^2) = \text{sqrt}(100 - 36) = \text{sqrt}(64) = 8$$ .

What is the value of c if a = 8 and b = 15?

Using the Pythagorean Theorem: $$c = \text{sqrt}(8^2 + 15^2) = \text{sqrt}(64 + 225) = \text{sqrt}(289) = 17$$ .

If a right triangle has legs of lengths 7 and 24, what is the length of the hypotenuse?

Using the Pythagorean Theorem: $$c = \text{sqrt}(7^2 + 24^2) = \text{sqrt}(49 + 576) = \text{sqrt}(625) = 25$$ .

What is the Pythagorean triplet?

A Pythagorean triplet consists of three positive integers a, b, and c, such that $$a^2 + b^2 = c^2$$ . An example is (3, 4, 5).

If the lengths of the two legs of a right triangle are equal, what can be said about the triangle?

The triangle is an isosceles right triangle, where the angles opposite the equal sides are both 45 degrees.

What is the area of a right triangle with legs of lengths 6 and 8?

The area can be calculated using the formula: $$\text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times \text{base} \times \text{height} = \frac{1}{2} \times 6 \times 8 = 24$$ .

How do you determine if a triangle is a right triangle using side lengths?

To determine if a triangle with sides a, b, and c is a right triangle, check if $$c^2 = a^2 + b^2$$ , where c is the longest side.
