Answer:

8mi

Step-by-step explanation:

Using Pythagoras theorem

Hypotenuse square = opposite square + adjacent square.

Let the other leg be x

10 square = 6 square + x square

100 = 36 + x square

Collect like terms

X square = 100 -36

X square = 64

Find square root of both sides

X = square root of 64

X =8mi
