Answer:

8 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the Pythagorean theorem to solve since we have a right triangle

a^2 +b^2 = c^2 where a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse

a^2 +6^2 = 10^2

a^2 +36 = 100

a^2 = 100-36

a^2 = 64

Taking the square root of each side

sqrt(a^2) = sqrt(64)

a =8

Answer:

8 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the Pythagorean theorem- [tex]a^{2} +b^{2} =c^{2}[/tex]

leg a: 6cm

leg b: unknown

hypotenuse: 10cm

Therefore [tex]6^{2} +x^{2} =10^{2} = 36+x^{2} =100[/tex]

Subtract 36 to 100 to isolate the [tex]x^{2}[/tex].    [tex]x^{2} =64[/tex]

Square root both sides and get your answer of 8cm
