Answer:
10 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
The diameter of the cylinder is 6 cm, so the length designated 'c' is the hypotenuse of a right triangle with legs 6 cm and 8 cm.
The Pythagorean theorem tells you the hypotenuse is ...
c^2 = (6 cm)^2 + (8 cm)^2 = 100 cm^2
c = √(100 cm^2) = 10 cm
The value of c is 10 cm.
_____
You may recognize these numbers as double those of a 3-4-5 right triangle.
