The length of the unknown side of the given shape will be equal to 10 ft.
What is the Pythagorean theorem?
Pythagorean theorem states that in the right angle triangle the hypotenuse square is equal to the square of the sum of the other two sides. According to this statement, the areas of the squares on the other two sides add up to the size of the square whose side is the hypotenuse.
It is given that the base is 6 ft and the height is 8 ft then the value of hypotenuse or x will be calculated as below:-
The value of x is calculated as:-
H² = P² + B²
x² = 6² + 8²
x² = 36 + 64
x² = 100
Simply the square root to find the value of x.
x = √100
x = 10
Therefore, the length of the unknown side of the given shape will be equal to 10 ft.
