Question

Just need help finding X and Y

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 8 and y= 12

Step-by-step explanation:

For x use the Pythagorean theorem:

$x^2+6^2=10^2$

$x^2+36=100$              subtract 36 from both sides

$x^2=64\to x=\sqrt{64}\\\\x=8$

We know: x + y = 20. Substitute:

$8+y=20$              subtract 8 from both sides

$y=12$
