Question

What is the side length of the shaded square?

Answer 1

It should be four if you don’t need to count the square units do you need to do that?

Answer 2

10 units

Explanation:

The white triangles all have sides of 6 and 8, so we need to use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the third side, which is the length of the sides of the square.

6²+8²=c²

36+64=c²

100=c²

c=10
