Answer:
c=10.6
Step-by-step explanation:
In this we need to find c and we know that this is a right triangle
Therefore, I can use the Pythagorean Theorem which is a^2 + b^2 = c^2.
using this we then plug in a=8 and b=7 while c is the hypotenuse.
Now the equation is now 8^2 + 7^2 = c^2. We then solve for c.
8^2 + 7^2 = c^2
64 + 49 = c^2
113 = c^2
√113 = c
c = 10.630145...
Since the questions asks to round to the nearest tenth then the answer would be 10.6
