Question

Full explanation please
this problem has one mistake in it
"solve correctly"

Answer 1

Well ur supposed to find the hypotenuse, because

a) it is the longest side

b) it is opposite the right angle

So instead it should be:

a2 + b2 = c2

a2 + 6(2)= 10(2)

a2 + 36 = 100

(-36). (-36)

a2 = 64

a2 =
`\sqrt[n]{x}` (64

= answer

Answer 2

b = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

• a² + b² = c²

• 6² + b² = 10²

• 36 + b² = 100

• b² = 100 - 36

• b² = 64

• b = √64

• b = 8

[Here the mistake was at identifying sides]
