100(c^2)-64(b^2)=36(a^2)\[\sqrt{36}=6\]

that's not a pythagorean theorem problem. you set up a proportion based on the angles.
The side opposite the red angles correspond with the other given side.
OpenStudy (nikato):
Agreed. That is not a right angle so you can't use the pythagoreom theorem. The marks are used to show that the angle is bisected.
So using the angle bisector theorem, you set up a proportion
8. x
-- = ---
10. 8
And solve for x
