10cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Hypotenuse^{2} = base^{2} + altitude^{2}

The hypotenuse can be taken as 'x'. As given in the question, the length of base is 8cm and the altitude is 6cm. So substituting these in the equation, we get:-

Hypotenuse^{2}  = 8^{2} + 6^{2}

Hypotenuse^{2} = 64 + 36

Hypotenuse^{2}  = 100

Hypotenuse = \sqrt{100}

Hypotenuse equals 10cm!

A) The hypotenuse is the longest side of the triangle .In the figure EG is the hypotenuse.The given angle is <G=40 degrees.The side adjacent is FG= 10 units.

The question is asking us to find the trigonometry ratio which will  help us find EG.We can use cos  as cos is ratio of adjacent and hypotenuse.

cos 40=\frac{10}{Hypotenuse EG.}

B) Cos  40 =0.766.

Substituting tan40 value we have:

0.766=\frac{10}{EG}

EG=13.05.

C)Sum of angles in  triangle is 180.

<E+<F+<G=180

<E+90+40=180

<E+130=180

<E=50 degrees.

D) Tan  40=\frac{EF}{10}

EF=8.39

E) Area of triangle EFG= \frac{1}{2}x base x height.

A rea of the triangle = \frac{1}{2}x8.39x13.05

Area= 54.75 square units.
