Answer:
X=8
Step-by-step explanation:
well, we are trying to find one of the legs of the triangle, using the equation from the Pythagorean Theorem we know that A^2+B^2=C^2
A^2+B^2=C^2, we know that 6^2 times x^2 MUST equal 10^2.
So using the equation, below i show you how to get the value of x.
A^2+B^2=C^2
6^2+B^2=10^2
36+B^2=100
36-36+B^2=100-36
B^2=64
now, B^2 is equal to 64, but we need to find the square root of 64 to get B, or as listed in the question, x.
To save time, ill just tell you, the square root of 64 is 8.
SO
X=8
