Question

What is the value of x?

Answer 1

The Answer Is 6

Explanation:

By Pythagoras Theorem

(AC)^2 = (AB)^2 + (BC)^2

(AB)^2 = (AC)^2 - (BC)^2

(AB)^2 = (10)^2 - (8)^2

(AB)^2 = 100 - 64

(AB)^2 = 36

(AB) = 6

AB = X = 6

Answer 2

x = 6

Explanation:

8^2 + x^2 = 10^2

64 + x^2 = 100

x^2 = 36

x = 6 (-6 can't be a length)
