Question

Find the value of x.91087

Answer 1

In a Right Triangle, the easiest way to solve the measure of the one side when two sides are given is by Pythagorean Theorem.

`\text{ a}^2+b^2=c^2`

Where,

a = Opposite Side

b = Adjacent Side

c = Hypotenuse

Let's rotate the figure to better understand the problem,

Let's now find the value of x,

`\text{ a}^2+b^2=c^2`
`\text{ (8)}^2+(6)^2=c^2`
`\text{ 64 + 36 = c}^2`
`c\text{ = }\sqrt[]{64\text{ + 36}}\text{ = }\sqrt[]{100}`
`\text{ c = x = 10}`

Thus, x = 10
