Finding the Hypotenuse of a 6-8 Triangle

A right triangle with legs 6 and 8 is shown step by step using the Pythagorean theorem, a squared plus b squared equals c squared. The animation highlights squaring each leg, adding the results, and taking the square root to find the hypotenuse equals 10. Built for ASVAB prep, it breaks the formula into simple visual steps so students can quickly recall and apply it under test conditions.
