1. **Problem Statement:** We need to find the length of the hypotenuse $c$ in a right triangle where the legs are $a=10$ and $b=11$.
2. **Formula:** The Pythagorean Theorem states that for a right triangle:
$$c^2 = a^2 + b^2$$
This means the square of the hypotenuse equals the sum of the squares of the other two sides.
3. **Substitute the known values:**
$$c^2 = 10^2 + 11^2$$
4. **Calculate the squares:**
$$c^2 = 100 + 121$$
5. **Add the values:**
$$c^2 = 221$$
6. **Find $c$ by taking the square root:**
$$c = \sqrt{221}$$
7. **Simplify the square root if possible:**
221 factors as $13 \times 17$, which are primes, so it cannot be simplified further.
8. **Final answer:**
$$c = \sqrt{221} \approx 14.87$$
So, the missing length $c$ is approximately 14.87 units.
