Find the length of the missing side The triangle is not draw

Find the length of the missing side The triangle is not drawn to scale. A. 36 B. 6 C. 4 D. 13

Solution

We will use the pythogoras theorm. which states that the sum of squares of smaller sides in a right angles triangles is equal to square of third side.

So, 10^2 = 8^2 +b^2

B^2 = 100-64=36

B = 6

The length of missing side is 6
