Answer:
x= 8
Step-by-step explanation:
Pythagoras' Theorem states that the square of the hypotenuse side (side opposite the right angle) is the sum of the squares of the other 2 sides.
Applying Pythagoras' Theorem,
x² +6²= 10²
Simplify:
x² +36= 100
x²= 100 -36
x²= 64
Square root both sides:
[tex]x = \sqrt{64} [/tex]
x= 8
