Question

14 which of the following correctly uses the pythagorean theorem to find the missing side x ? a x² + 10² = 6² b 6² + 10² = x² c x + 6 = 10 d x² + 6² = 10²

Explanation:

Step1: Identify right triangle sides

The triangle has legs $x$, $6$ and hypotenuse $10$.

Step2: Apply Pythagorean Theorem

Theorem: $leg_1^2 + leg_2^2 = hypotenuse^2$. Substitute values: $x^2 + 6^2 = 10^2$.

Step3: Match with options

The equation matches option D.

Answer:

D. $x^{2}+6^{2}=10^{2}$
