Question

Find the value of x in the triangle shown below. a.164 b.2 c.6 d.80

Answer 1

THEOREM:

• Pythagorean theorem:— In a right-angled triangle, the square of the hypotenuse side is equal to the sum of squares of the other two sides.

ANSWER:

By pythagorean property,

• x² = 10² - 8²
• x² = 100 - 64
• x² = 36
• x = √36
• x = 6 units.

So, Correct choice - [C] 6 units.

Answer 2

Answer:

$\huge\mathfrak\pink{S} \huge\mathfrak\purple{o} \huge\mathfrak\blue{l} \huge\mathfrak\red{u} \huge\mathfrak\green{t} \huge\mathfrak\pink{i}\huge\mathfrak\purple{o}\huge\mathfrak\red{n}\huge\mathfrak\orange{➔}$

by using Pythagoras law:

h²=p²+b²

10²=z²+8²

z²=100-64

z=√36=6

z=6 units.
