Answer 2

its 10 correct?

Answer 3

The diagonal of a rectangle splits the rectangle into two right triangles. The diagonal of the rectangle is the hypoteneuse of each one of the right triangles. The triangles have sides with 6 and 8cm. So you can apply the Pythagorean Theorem:

\[x^2 = 6^2 + 8^2\]

Answer 4

So, yes! Your answer is correct! x^2=100, so x=10!
