Question

*If in a right triangle, base = 6 cm and hypotenuse = (x + 5) cm and the third side = (x + 3) cm, then find the length of the third side.*

1️⃣ 35/8 cm
2️⃣ 10 cm
3️⃣ 8 cm
4️⃣ 5 cm

Please give me a right answer​

Answer 1

Answer:

3) 8 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

By Pythagoras theorem

(x+5)^2=(6)^2 + (x+3)^2

x^2+10x+25=36+x^2+6x+9

10x-6x=45-25

4x =20

x =5

third side= (x+3)=5+3=8 cm
