Since this is a right triangle, we can use Pythagorean theorem. Pythagorean theorem is a^2 + b^2 = c^2

a = one leg of the triangle

b = the second leg of the triangle

c = the hypotenuse of the triangle

in this problem,

a = 8 in

b = 6 in

c = ?

We need to plug our numbers into the pythagorean theorem and solve for c

8^2 + 6^2 = c^2.

Square each term on the left side.

64 + 36 = c^2

Add the terms together on the left side.

100 = c^2.

Take the square root of each side

10 = c

The missing side is 10 inches
