10 because 8 squares plus 6 squared equals 100 and the root of 100 is ten
"Understand the problem" might rightly consist of
• Perform this step first
• Identify what you are being asked to solve or find.
• Identify the important words or numbers in the problem
• Identify any instructions that you are supposed to follow
_____
One of my professors always insisted we start the solution of any problem by writing down what was Given, and what we had to Find, using those headers for the sections of the paper we turned in. Only after those were listed were we allowed to write the Solution. Solution papers that didn't have that format were tossed in the trash, and no credit was given. Harsh, but effective.

Step-by-step explanation:
sorry i can show the work :(
Direct variation is a relation that has the form
y = kx
where k is the constant of proportionality.
If you are told that a relation is a direct proportion, and you are given one data point, you can find k. The you can write the equation of the direct relation.
Here is an example.
The price of gasoline follows a direct variation.
John bought 5 gallons of gas and paid $15.
a) Write an equation for the relation.
b) Using the relation you found, how much do 13.8 gallons cost?
Solution:
Since the relation is a direct variation, it follows the general equation of a direct variation:
y = kx
We are given one data point, 5 gallons cost $15.
We plug in 5 for x and 15 for y and we find k.
y = kx
15 = k * 5
k = 3
Now that we know that k = 3, we rewrite the relation using our value of k.
y = 3x
This is the answer to part a).
Part b)
We use our relation, y = 3x, and we plug in 13.8 into x and find y.
y = 3x
y = 3 * 13.8
y = 41.4
The price of 15 gallons of gas is $41.40.
