Yes, you can find the measure of side BC using the Pythagorean theorem. Since triangle ABC is a right triangle and if AC is one leg (5) and AB is the hypotenuse (10), you can calculate BC as follows: ( BC^2 = AB^2 - AC^2 ), which gives ( BC^2 = 10^2 - 5^2 = 100 - 25 = 75 ). Therefore, ( BC = \sqrt{75} ) or approximately 8.66.
