Answer:

x= 8

Explanation:

Pythagoras' Theorem states that the square of the hypotenuse side (side opposite the right angle) is the sum of the squares of the other 2 sides.

Applying Pythagoras' Theorem,

x² +6²= 10²

Simplify:

x² +36= 100

x²= 100 -36

x²= 64

Square root both sides:


x = √(64)

x= 8
