Answer:

If XYZ is a triangle, then Y = 8 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

X^2 + Y^2 = Z^2, by the Pythagorean Theorem.

Z, in this equation, represents the hypotenuse; the hypotenuse must be the longest side, and we can therefore eliminate C, 10 cm, without even beginning. Then, we may plug the given values in.

(6)^2 + Y^2 = 10^2

36 + Y^2 = 100

Y^2 = (100 - 36) = 64

Y = 8 cm

I hope this helped! :)
