Answer:
x = 8
Step-by-step explanation:
Using Pythagoras' identity in the right triangle
The square on the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares on the other 2 sides, that is
x² + 6² = 10²
x² + 36 = 100 ( subtract 36 from both sides )
x² = 64 ( take the square root of both sides )
x = [tex]\sqrt{64}[/tex] = 8
