Answer:
6 in.
Step-by-step explanation:
you can use the Pythagorean theorem to solve this problem.
hypotenuse squared = leg squared = the other leg squared.
You have one leg is 8 and the hypotenuse is 10. Let the missing leg = x
So, [tex]10^{2}[/tex] = [tex]8^{2}[/tex] + [tex]x^{2}[/tex]
100 = 64 + [tex]x^{2}[/tex]
36 = [tex]x^{2}[/tex]
x = [tex]\sqrt{36}[/tex] = 6
