We can use the Pythagorean theorum
a^2+b^2=c^2
c^2 is the length of the longest side squared
so
6^2 + b^2 = 10^2
36+ b^2 = 100
-36 -36
b^2 = 64
b = 8
b is the same thing as your "x", so x = 8

Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
The values of a, b, and c for the quadratic equation
a=3
b=-5
c=6
(45 gal/day) x (31 day/Dec) =
(45 x 31) (gal/Dec) = <em>1395 gallons</em> per December .
Choice-B is closer to that figure than Choice-A is,
but they're both poor estimates.
