Answer 1

Answer:

$\sqrt{60}$ or $2\sqrt{15}$ or 7.746...

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the Pythagorean Theorem because it is a right triangle. you would get $a^2+2^2=8^2$, and using the method of solving one-variable equations, you would do 64 - 4, which is 60, and then to further simplify, you would get the square root of 60.
