Answer:
See below ↓
Step-by-step explanation:
Given side lengths :
This question can be solved in two ways :
- Taking the third side to be the hypotenuse (What you're probably looking for)
- Taking 8 to be the hypotenuse (Probably not needed, but good for understanding the various possiblities)
Case 1
- By Pythagorean Theorem, as right angle is mentioned :
- 6² + 8² = x²
- x² = 100
- x = 10 [Your answer!]
Case 2
- 6² + x² = 8²
- x² = 64 - 36
- x² = 28
- x = 2√7 [Just in case!]
Hope it helps~
