Question

What is the value of x?

Enter your answer in the box

Answer 1

Just use the Pythagorean theory. a^2 + b^2 = c^2

Plug in the values appropriately.

6^2 + b^2 = 10^2

36 + b^2 = 100

b^2 = 64

b = sqr root 64

b = 8

Therefore

x = 8

Answer 2

a² + b² = c²

6² + b² = 10²

36 + b² = 100

100 - 36 = 64

√64 = 8

x = 8
