Answer:

5.3

Explanation:

The Pythagorean theorem applies. The square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides.

8² = x² + 6²

64 = x² +36

28 = x²

√28 = x ≈ 5.3

The missing measure is 5.3.

Comment on the question

The triangle isn't marked, but we must assume it is a right triangle. If it is not a right triangle, we cannot find the missing measure.
