Question

Help picture below problem 14

Answer 1

The Pythagorean theorem is the idea that the sum of the two legs which are both squared is equal to the hypotenuse's length squared.

     *look at the image I attached for a better explanation

By looking at the picture, we are missing the leg's length, and by using the Pythagorean theorem, we get the equation

    $?^2+6^2 = 10^2\\?^2 + 36 = 100\\?^2 = 64\\? = 8$

Thus the missing side length is 8 cm

Hope that helps!
