Question

Find the missing length indicated. Leave your answer in simplest radical form if
necessary

Answer 1

x = 8

Explanation:

The given is a right triangle and in right triangles the square length of the hypotenuse is equal to sum of square length of the legs:

10^2 = x^2 + 6^2 calculate the powers

100 = x^2 + 36 subtract 36 from both sides

64 = x^2 find the root for both sides

8 = x
