[Healeys] Right triangle dimension needed

[John Sims]

I come up with 6 also The proof is the  Pythagorean Theorem where you take
the square root of the sum of the square of the horizontal side plus the
square of the base with the answer being the hypotenuse. One side being 6 -
36, one side being 8 = 64 the sum of which is 100 and the square root of
which is 10. Thus the missing number is 6.

That is the OLD math - Ed -- several thousands of years old. And, still
holds true today. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pythagorean_theorem
