A. 12

You use the formula A2+B2=C2
6^2+10^2 = X^2
36+100=x^2
136=x^2
Square root both sides
X= 11.6 round up to 12

Answer:

Option C. 8

Explanation:

It is a right triangle.

let

AC = 10

BC = 6

AB = x

Using Pythagoras theorem


{ab}^(2) + {bc}^(2) = {ac}^(2) \\ {x}^(2) + {6}^(2) = {10}^(2) \\ {x}^(2) = {10}^(2) - {6}^(2) \\ {x }^(2) = 100 - 36 \\ {x}^(2) = 64 \\ x = √(64) \\ x = 8
