8. If a right triangle has one leg measuring 6 units and the hypotenuse measuring 10 units, what is the length of the other leg?
Correct answer: 4 units
Explanation: According to the Pythagorean theorem, in a right triangle, the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides. In this case, 6^2 + x^2 = 10^2, which simplifies to 36 + x^2 = 100. Solving for x, we find x = 4.
