Question

Does any one know how to do this one

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

x² = 10² - 6² = 100 - 36 = 64

x = √64 = √8*8 = 8

Right angle triangle, use Pythagorean theorem

(hypotenuse)² = (adjacent)² + (opposite)²

Answer 2

Answer:

The value of x and the 2nd leg of the triangle is 8 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's use the Pythagorean theorem to solve for x, this way:

Hypotenuse = 10 units

Leg 1 = 6 units

Leg 2 = x units

Now, replacing with the real values we have:

Leg 2 ² = Hypotenuse² - Leg 1²

x² = 10² - 6²

x² = 100 - 36

x² = 64

√x² = √64

x = 8 units

The value of x and the 2nd leg of the triangle is 8 units
