Answer:

6.6

Step-by-step explanation:

The relationship between the sides of a triangle is a^2 + b^2 = c^2, where c is the hypotenuse. Here, c = 12 and a = 10, so...

10^2 + b^2 = 12^2

100 + b^2 = 144

b^2 = 44                               subtract 100 from both sides

b = [tex]\sqrt{44}[/tex]                                 take the square root of both sides

b = 6.63324

b = 6.6                                  round to the nearest tenth
