Line YW is equal 6 feet

Explanation:

I used the pythagorean theorem

1. 8 squared plus b squared equals 10 squared

2. 64 plus b squared equals 100

3. 100 - 64 equals 36

4. B squared equals 36

5. square root both sides

6. b equals 6 feet

Answer:

YW = 6

Explanation:

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

x^2 + 8^2 = 10^2

x^2 + 64 = 100

x^2 + 64 - 64 = 100 - 64

x^2 = 36

√x^2 = √36

x = 6
