Question

What is the value of x?

Answer 1

Answer: x = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Using The Pythagorean theorem (a^2 + b^2 = c^2) we can find A or In This Case X

Plug In The Numbers:

x^2 + 6^2 = 10^2

simplify

x^2 + 36 = 100

Next, Since Were Trying To Find X And Not C, We Subtract B From C Or 36 From 100

x^2 + 36 - 36 = 100 - 36

simplify

x^2  = 64

Next, To Get Rid Of The Square, Were Going To Find The Square Root Of Both Sides Of The Equation

sqr/a = sqr/64

simplify

x = 8
