Answer:
b=8
Step-by-step explanation:
We can use the Pythagorean theorem since this is a right triangle:
a^2+ b^2 = c^2 where a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse
a=6 and b = 10
6^2 + b ^2 = 10^2
36+ b^2 = 100
b^2 = 100-36
b^2 = 64
Taking the square root of each side
sqrt(b^2) = sqrt(64)
b = 8
