Answer:
x = 8
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the triangle is right use Pythagoras' identity to solve for x
The square on the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares on the other two sides, thus
x² + 6² = 10²
x² + 36 = 100 ( subtract 36 from both sides )
x² = 64 ( take the square root of both sides )
x = = 8
