Answer: x = 60
Step-by-step explanation:
the equation is a^2 + b^2 = c^2.
If you draw out the problem, you plug in the information into the formula, so it would be...
x^2 + 80^2 = 100^2.
80^2 = 6,400 and 100^2 = 10,000.
x^2 + 6,400 = 10,000.
You subtract 6,400 from itself and 10,000 and then you get...
x^2 = 3,600.
You square both of those and your final answer will be x = 60.
