Answer:
D
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
The answer is B.
Step-by-step explanation:
Recall SohCahToa, where 
.
The opposite side (to angle A) here is 8, while the hypotenuse is 10.
Thus, we have:
The correct answer is B.

- [Right Triangles Only] Pythagorean Theorem: a² + b² = c²
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Define</u>
We have a right triangle. We can use PT to solve for the missing side length.
<u>Step 2: Identify Variables</u>
Leg <em>a</em> = 5
Leg <em>b </em>= <em>x</em>
Hypotenuse <em>c</em> = √72
<u>Step 3: Solve for </u><em><u>x</u></em>
- Substitute [PT]: 5² + x² = (√72)²
- Exponents: 25 + x² = 72
- Isolate <em>x</em> term: x² = 47
- Isolate <em>x</em>: x = √47
