A:
U have one side of the triangle a is 6 and the area is 48, by using the triangle area formula (A = 1/2 a*b) we can find the other side of the triangle b equals to 48 * 2 / 6 which equals to 16. To find the hypotenuse of this triangle c we use a^2 + b^2 = c^2. So c equals to square root of 6^2 + 16^2 which is square root of 292. So the final answer is square root of 292
