We can see on this graph that the triangle has legs of x and 6 with a hypotenuse of 10 and we can use Pythagoreans theorem to find the unknown side.
Pythagoreans theorem: a^2+b^2=c^2, where a and b are the legs of the triangle and c, is the hypotenuse

x^2+6^2=10^2 Plugin a=x, b=6, and c=10. Now let us solve for x

x^2+36=100 Square each individual term

x^2+=100+36 Subtract 36 from both sides

x^2=64 Combine like terms

sqrt(2)=sqrt(64) Take the square root of both sides

x = 8 Simplify the square root

So our answer is x = 8
