What is the value of x? 25 pts. enter your answer in the box.

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

The value of x is 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)

The correct answer is 7
