Question

Find the length of the missing side. The triangle is not drawn to scale.

Answer 1

Answer:

Option 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Use pythagoras theorem

Hypotenuse² = adjacent² + opposite²

Hypotenuse² = 6² + 8²

Hypotenuse² = 36 + 64 = 100

Hypotenuse = 10

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given triangle is a right angled triangle, hence its missing side can be found by using Pythagoras theorem.

Length of missing side

$= \sqrt{ {6}^{2} + {8}^{2} } \\ = \sqrt{36 + 64} \\ = \sqrt{100} \\ = 10$
