Question

Write the equation to find the missing side of this triangle.

Answer 1

Answer: Pythagorean theorem which a² + b² = c².

Step-by-step explanation:  This is showing me with the information you have given me a pythagorean triple.

Exp: This is a common pythagorean triple (6,8,10)

6²+8²=10².

10 is the hypotenuse which is the longest and is across the 90 angle.

6²=36 and 8²=64 which if you add both numbers equal 100. 10² is 100. You know it is a common pythagorean since both sides have the same number.

Answer 2

Answer:

x^2+8^2=10^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Use Pythagorean theorem, which states that for legs of a right triangle a and b, and the hypotenuse of that triangle c,

a^2+b^2=c^2
