Answer:
<em>The other side is 6cm.</em>
Explanation:
<em>Hypotenuse = 10cm</em>
<em>Base</em><em> = 8cm</em>
<em>Altitude</em><em> = x cm ( not given) </em>
<em>Using Pythagoras theorem,( hypotenuse)^2 = ( base) ^2 + (altitude)^2</em>
<em>(altitude)^2 = (</em><em>hy</em><em>potenuse</em><em>)</em><em>^</em><em>2</em><em> </em><em>-</em><em> </em><em>(</em><em>base</em><em>)</em><em>^</em><em>2</em>
<em>(</em><em>x)</em><em>^</em><em>2</em><em> </em><em>=</em><em> </em><em>(</em><em>1</em><em>0</em><em>)</em><em>^</em><em>2</em><em> </em><em>-</em><em> </em><em>(</em><em>8</em><em>)</em><em>^</em><em>2</em>
<em>(</em><em>x</em><em>)^2 = 100 - 64</em><em> </em>
<em>(x) ^2 = 36</em>
<em>x</em><em> = √36</em>
<em>therefore</em><em>, x =6</em><em>c</em><em>m ( altitude)</em>
In
the book there is a part where Odysseus makes it back to his homeland
where he meets with the goddess Athene. She herself was disguised as
a young shepherd to approach him and then reveals to him her true
identity. She then disguises Odysseus to take back his home.
Athena
tells Odysseus she will disguise him as a beggar, because she is the
master of disguises and no one likes to look too closely at beggars
anyway.
<span>“Athena
transforms him into an old man as a disguise. Clad in a filthy tunic,
he goes off to find his faithful swineherd, as instructed by the
goddess.”</span>
