Applying the Pythagorean Theorem Warm-up What is the value of x? 10 8​

Answer :

Answer:

x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

According to pythagorean theorem

a² = b² + x²

a is the hypotenuse

b and x are the opposite and adjacent

Let a = 10

b = 8

Substitute and get x:

10² = 8²+x²

x² = 10²-8²

x² = 100-64

x² = 36

x = √36

x = 6

Hence the value of x is 6
