Question

Help plas eeeeeeeeeee

Answer 1

b = 6

Explanation:

The legs (which form the L shape) are a and b. The hypotenuse (diagonal) is c. Plugin the values into the Pythagorean Theorem and solve for b.

`a^(2) +b^(2) =c^(2) \\8^(2) +b^(2) =10^(2) \\64 +b^(2) =100\\64 - 64 + b^(2) =100 - 64\\b^(2) = 36\\\sqrt{b^(2) } = √(36) \\b = 6`

You take the square root of b squared to cancel out the exponent.
