We could solve the problem using pythagorean theorem. The sum of the square of the perpendicular lines on right triangle is the square of the hypotenuse. x² + 6² = 10²
all we need to do is solve for x x² + 36 = 100 x² = 100 - 36 x² = 64 x² = 8² x = 8
Since it’s a right angled triangle, you can use the Pythagorean theorem, which states that Altitude^2 + Base^2 = Hypotenuse^2 Altitude^2 = hypotenuse^2 - base^2 A^2 = 10^2 - 6^2 A^2 = 100-36 A^2 = 64 A= 8 units (since 8*8 is 64)
