Explanation:


\underline{ \underline{ \text{Given}}} :

  • Length of MN ( Base ) = 8
  • Length of NL ( Hypotenuse ) = 10


\underline{ \underline{ \text{To \: find}}} :

  • Length of LM ( Perpendicular )


\underline{ \underline{ \text{Using \: pythagoras \: theorem}}} :


\boxed{ \sf{ {Hypotenuse}^(2) = {Perpendicular}^(2) + {Base}^(2) }}


\sf{ Perpendicular = \sqrt{ {(Hypotenuse)}^(2) - {(Base)}^(2) } }


\sf{ \sqrt{ {(10)}^(2) - {(8)}^(2) } }


\sf{ √(100 - 64)}


\sf{ √(36)}


\boxed{ \sf{6\: units}}


\pink{ \boxed{ \boxed{ \tt{Our \: final \: answer : \boxed{ \underline { \tt{6 \: units}}}}}}}

Hope I helped ! ツ

Have a wonderful day / night ! ♡
