What is the length of segment BC?

The length is 10 because this is a right triangle and based on the pythagorean theorem, the sum of the squares of the legs equals the square of the longest side.

6 squared plus 8 squared is 100, which is 10 squared.

The answer is 10.

C. 10

Step-by-step explanation:

The Pythagorean Theorem states that a² + b² = c²

a² can be found by multiplying 6 by 6, which is 36

b² can be found by multiplying 8 by 8, which is 64

36 + 64 = 100.

The square root of 100 is 10, you can double-check this because 10 x 10 = 100

Because of this, we know that the line segment BC is equal to 10

I hope this helps :)
