Answer: x = 8
Step-by-step explanation:
Using The Pythagorean theorem (a^2 + b^2 = c^2) we can find A or In This Case X
Plug In The Numbers:
x^2 + 6^2 = 10^2
simplify
x^2 + 36 = 100
Next, Since Were Trying To Find X And Not C, We Subtract B From C Or 36 From 100
x^2 + 36 - 36 = 100 - 36
simplify
x^2 = 64
Next, To Get Rid Of The Square, Were Going To Find The Square Root Of Both Sides Of The Equation
sqr/a = sqr/64
simplify
x = 8
