Find the length of the missing side. The triangle is not drawn to scale.
100
10
48

Answer 1

B.10 units

Explanation:

Since this is a right triangle, we can use the Pythagorean theorem which states that a^2+b^2=c^2

Plug in what we know....

8^2+6^2=c^2

64+36=c^2

c=sqrt(100)

c=10 units or B

Answer 2

10

Explanation:

pythagorean theorem

take the sum of the square of each leg and set it equal to the square of the hypotenuse

8² + 6² = x²

64 + 36 = x²

x² = 100

x =
`√(100)` or 10
