Question

What is the value of x

Answer 1

To solve this, we need to use Pythagorean Theorem. This is a formula that says a²+b²=c². A and B represent the legs of the triangle while c is the hypotenuse. We can simply substitute in our values for a and b and solve.

a²+b²=c²
8²+6²=c²
64+36=c²
100=c²
√100=√c²
10=c

Using the math above, we can see that c (x) equals 10.

Answer 2

6^2 + 8^2 = x^2

36 + 64 = 100

sqrt(100) = 10

 x = 10
