Question

What is the value of x?

Answer 1

Use the Pythagorean theorem. The Pythagorean Theorem uses the following formula:

$a^{2} + b^{2} = c^{2}$

Plug in the known values into the equation:

$a = 6, c = 10$

$6^{2} + b^{2} = 10^{2}$

$36 + b^{2} = 100$

Subtract both sides by 36.

$b^{2} = 64$

Square root both sides to get b by itself.

$\sqrt{64} = 8$

$b = 8$

The value of x is 8.
