Answer:

Well ur supposed to find the hypotenuse, because

a) it is the longest side

b) it is opposite the right angle

So instead it should be:


a2 + b2 = c2

a2 + 6(2)= 10(2)

a2 + 36 = 100

       (-36).  (-36)

a2 = 64

a2 = [tex]\sqrt[n]{x}[/tex] (64


= answer

Answer:

b = 8

Explanation:

  • a² + b² = c²
  • 6² + b² = 10²
  • 36 + b² = 100
  • b² = 100 - 36
  • b² = 64
  • b = √64
  • b = 8

[Here the mistake was at identifying sides]
