Answer:

2 sqrt(41) =c

Explanation:

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

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

8^2 + 10^2 = c^2

64+ 100 = c^2

164 = c^2

take the square root of each side

sqrt(164) = sqrt(c^2)

sqrt(4*41) = c

2 sqrt(41) =c

Answer:

x = 2√41 m

Explanation:

Since the triangle is a right angled triangle we can use Pythagoras theorem to find the missing side x

Using Pythagoras theorem we have

a² = b² + c²

where a is the hypotenuse

From the question x is the hypotenuse

So we have


{x}^(2) = {8}^(2) + {10}^(2)


{x}^(2) = 64 + 100


{x}^(2) = 164

Find the square root of both sides

We have the final answer as

x = 2√41 m

Hope this helps you
