Answer:

y = 4 $\sqrt{5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Using Pythagoras' identity in the right triangle.

The square on the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares on the other 2 sides, that is

y² = 8² + 4² = 64 + 16 = 80 ( take the square root of both sides )

y = $\sqrt{80}$ = $\sqrt{16(5)}$ = 4 $\sqrt{5}$ ← exact value

What are the possible lengths for x, the third side of a triangle, if two sides are 21 and 10

SashulF [63]

To solve we need to use Pythagoras theorem ( $a^{2} + b^{2} = c^{2}$ )

There are 2 possible lengths for x: hypotenuse or one of the 2 shorter sides.

Hypotenuse:
10^{2} + 21^2 = $x^{2}$
100+441= $x^{2}$
$\sqrt{541} = \sqrt{ x^{2} }$
23.3≈x

Shorter leg:
$10^2 + x^2=21^2$
$x^2= 21^2-10^2$
$x^{2}$ = 441-100
$\sqrt{ x^{2} } = \sqrt{341}$
x≈18.47
