See the attached figure
For the shown right triangle at C

cos B = a/c = a / hypotenuse 
∵ cos B = 4/5    and    a = 10

∴ 4/5 = 10/c  
∴ c = 10/(4/5) = 10 * 5/4 = 12.5

The hypotenuse of the triangle = 12.5

Answer:

The measure of hypotenuses is 12.5 unit.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given information:[tex]\cos b=\frac{4}{5}, a=10[/tex]

In a right angle triangle

[tex]\cos \theta=\frac{base}{hypoteneuose}[/tex]

Let the measure of hypotenuses be x.

In triangle ABC,

[tex]\cos (B)=\frac{CB}{AB}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{4}{5}=\frac{10}{x}[/tex]

[tex]4\times AB=10\times 5[/tex]

[tex]x=\frac{50}{4}[/tex]

[tex]x=12.5[/tex]

Therefore the measure of hypotenuses is 12.5 unit.
