Question

What is the value of X

Answer 1

pythagorean’s theorem


a^2+b^2=c^
b^=c^2-a^2
b^2=100-64 = squareroot of36
x=6

Answer 2

x=6

Explanation:

Since this is a right triangle, we can use the Pythagorean theorem

a^2+b^2 = c^2 where a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse

x^2 +8^2 = 10^2

x^2 +64 = 100

Subtract 64 from each side

x^2 +64-64 = 100 -64

x^2 = 36

Take the square root of each side

sqrt(x^2) = sqrt(36)

x =6
