In a triangle, the length of the hypotenuse is 10 and one of the legs is 6. What is the length of the other leg?
Correct: B
Using the Pythagorean theorem, we have c^2 = a^2 + b^2, where c is the hypotenuse and a and b are the legs. Given c = 10 and a = 6, we can plug in the values: 10^2 = 6^2 + b^2, 100 = 36 + b^2, b^2 = 100 - 36, b^2 = 64, b = sqrt(64), b = 8.
