Find the length of the third side of the right triangle

8

Step-by-step explanation:

There are two ways to solve this!

1. Use the Pythagorean Theorem

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

6^2 + b^2 = 10^2

100 - 36 = b^2

64 = b^2

8 = b

2. Shortcut using 3-4-5 triangles

A 3-4-5 triangle has to do with the ratios of each side.

In this case, it's 6-8-10, as each number is multiplied by two with the same 3-4-5 ratio. This is a good shortcut for these types of problems and will be handy on tests like the SAT as well! :)

it's equivalent, so we can say that its equal.

let's call the denominator x and the numerador is 18 less then denominator, x - 18.

multiply

2.x = 5.(x - 18)

2x = 5x - 90

90 = 5x - 2x

90 = 3x

x = 90/3

x = 30
