Answer:

The answer is the option C

[tex]x^{2}+8^{2}=10^{2}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

In a right triangle the Pythagorean Theorem states that

[tex]c^{2}=a^{2}+b^{2}[/tex]

where

c is the hypotenuse (the greater side)

a,b are the legs of the right triangle

in this problem we have

[tex]a=x\ units[/tex]

[tex]b=8\ units[/tex]

[tex]c=10\ units[/tex]

substitute the values

[tex]10^{2}=x^{2}+8^{2}[/tex]
