Solve the problem.
-Find the length of the unknown side of the right triangle, where a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse. $a = 6 , b = ? , c = 10$
A) $b = 10$
B) $b = 7$
C) $b = 9$
D) $b = 8$

The Pythagorean theorem states that in a right triangle, the square of the length of the hypotenuse (c) is equal to the sum of the squares of the lengths of the other two sides (a and b). Therefore, $c^2 = a^2 + b^2$. Plugging in the given values, $10^2 = 6^2 + b^2$, which simplifies to $100 = 36 + b^2$. Solving for $b^2$ gives $b^2 = 64$, and taking the square root of both sides gives $b = 8$.
