Answer:
YW = 6
Step-by-step explanation:
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
x^2 + 8^2 = 10^2
x^2 + 64 = 100
x^2 + 64 - 64 = 100 - 64
x^2 = 36
√x^2 = √36
x = 6
Line YW is equal 6 feet
I used the pythagorean theorem
1. 8 squared plus b squared equals 10 squared
2. 64 plus b squared equals 100
3. 100 - 64 equals 36
4. B squared equals 36
5. square root both sides
6. b equals 6 feet
