Question

Solve for x
Picture is above

Answer 1

10

Explanation:

We can use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the value of x.

It states that in a right triangle,
`a^2 + b^2 = c^2`.

A and b are the sides, while c is the hypotenuse.

We already know the measure of a and b, so we can find the measure of c easily.

`6^2 + 8^2 = c^2\\\\36+64=c^2\\\\100=c^2\\\\10=c`

Hope this helped!

Answer 2

x = 10

Explanation:

a² + b² = c²

6² + 8² = c²

36 + 64 = 100

√100 = ±10

x = 10
