Answer: A √28 41°

Explanation:

You can use pythagorean to solve for x

c² = a² + b² >c is the hypotenuse, always across from the 90 angle

> a and b are the legs doesn't matter which you

choose to be a or b

8² = x² + 6²

64 = x² +36 >subtract 36 from both sides

x² = 28

x = √28

To find the angle, use SOH CAH TOA. You can use any of them because you have all of the sides but I'm going to choose CAH because i don't want to deal with root.

cos x = adjacent/hypotenuse

cos <E = 6/8

<E = cos⁻¹ (6/8)

<E = 41
