    c = 8.54

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Use Pythagorean theorem and sketch a right triangle with side lengths of 8 and 3, with the hypotenuse labeled as x.

    Use the formula a² + b² = c²

    8² + 3² = c² Plug in your two numbers into variable

    64 + 9 = c² Simplify the squared numbers

    73 = c² Add them together

    √72 = c Divide the squared variable by using the opposite operation, square rooting

    c = 8.54 Plug number into calculator and round
