Solution
In ΔABC, ∠B = 90°, AB = 6, BC = 8
By Pythagoras theorem,
AC2 = AB2 + BC2
= 62 + 82
= 36 + 64
AC2 = 100
∴ AC = 10 units

Activity: From given figure, In ∆ABC, ∠ABC = 90°, ∠ACB = 30°
∴ ∠BAC = `square`
∴ ∆ABC is 30° – 60° – 90° triangle.
∴ In ∆ABC by property of 30° – 60° – 90° triangle.
∴ AB = `1/2` AC and `square` = `sqrt(3)/2` AC
∴ `square` = `1/2 xx 12` and BC = `sqrt(3)/2 xx 12`
∴ `square` = 6 and BC = `6sqrt(3)`
