The triangle shown is a right triangle having sides a, b, and c. Given that the measurements of a = 6 cm, b = 8 cm, and c = 10 cm, determine which formula below holds true.
A.
2a2 + b2 = c2
B.
a2 + b2 = c2
C.
a2 + 2b2 = c2
D.
a2 + b2 = 2c2
B.
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
By the Pythagorean theorem, in a right triangle, the square of the length of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the lengths of the other two sides.
