How do I formulate a good thesis for my essay?

First, understand what you want to write about and ask yourself questions about the material your writinga bout. You'll start to form themes and connections within the material. It's also a good time to find some examples that will support your thesis.

How do I solved for the hypotenuse when side a=6 and side b=5.

To fine the hypotenuse, the longest side of a triangle, you have to use a-squared + b-squared = c - squared. Using the information provided that means: (6*6) + (5*5) = (c*c). 36 + 25 = 61. To find c, you have to take the square root of 61 to get approximately 7.8.

Where can I find primary resources that will help me with my research paper?

You can find primary resources in several places. First, I recommend checking your digital databases at your school, if you're enrolled in college or university. Next, I would recommend getting a public library card and seeing which research databases they offer. Finally, try several free online primary resource websites such as the National Archives, Library of Congress, or Google Scholar.
