Question

Find the missing side of the triangle. Round your answer to the nearest tenth if necessary.

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

pythagoras theorem

a^2+b^2=c^2

8^2+x^2=10^2

64+x^2=100

x^2=100-64

x=$\sqrt{36$

x=6 km

Answer 2

Answer:

x = 6km

Step-by-step explanation:

using pythagoras theorem,

x = $\sqrt{10^{2} - 8^{2} }$

= 6km (reject -6, x>0)
