NEED HELP

Given a triangle with leg A = 8 and the hypotenuse C = 10, find the the length of leg B.

Answer 1

6

Explanation:

The Pythagorean theorem states that

8*8+B*B=10*10

64-100=B*B

√36=B

6=B

Answer 2

B= 6

Explanation:

a^2 + b^2= c^2 hypotenuse formula

Plug in what you have

8^2 + b^2= 10^2

PEMDAS

64 +b^2= 100

combine like terms

b^2=36

divide

b=6
