Answer:

a = 8

b = ∛5

x = 8 + ∛5

Explanation:

I think here we have to do pythagorean theorem a² + b² = c² or c =√a² + b²

Now just plug in the numbers for 9, 6 and b

6² + b² = 9²

36 + b² = 81

b² = 45

b = 6.70820....

b = ∛5

∛5 = 6.70820..

Now plug in 6, 10, a

a² + 6² = 10²

a² + 36 = 100 (subtract 36 on both sides)

a² = 64

√64 = 8

a = 8

NOW X

8 + √45 = 14.708203

8 + ∛5 = 14.708203

x = 8 + ∛5

Hope this helps ya!!!

Answer:

a=8

b=5

x=13

Explanation:

Use Pythagoras's Theorem to find A

h²=y²+z²

10²=a²+6²

100=a²+36

∴a²=64

∴a=8

Use Pythagoras's Theorem to find A

h²=y²+z²

9²=b²+6²

81=b²+36

∴b²=45

∴b=3√5

x=a+b

=8+3√5
