Answer:
x=8
Step-by-step explanation:
Since this is a right triangle, we can use the Pythagorean theorem to find the leg of the triangle
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
where a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse.
We know one of the legs is 6 and the hypotenuse is 10
6^2 +x^2 = 10^2
36+ x^2 = 100
Subtract 36 from each side
36-36 +x^2 = 100-36
x^2 = 64
Take the square root of each side
sqrt(x^2) = sqrt(64)
x = 8
