Answer:

x = 11.49

Explanation:

Apply the pythagorean theorem to find x

Thus:

a² + b² = c²

Where,

a = x = ???

b = 8

c = 14 (hypotenuse)

Plug in the values

x² + 8² = 14²

x² + 64 = 196

x² = 196 - 64 (subtraction property of equality)

x² = 132

x = √132

x = 11.49 (approximated to nearest hundredth)
