Greetings.
The answer is x = 5.
Step-by-step explanation:
We can solve for x-term by using Pythagorean Theorem.
We only remember that c-term is the opposite side of the right angle.
Meaning our x-term is the opposite of right angle.
While b-term and a-term are not that important to remember (Because of the property of addition. We can swap from a²+b² to b²+a² without any problems.)
Then we substitute a = 4, b = 3 and c = x in the equation.
From
The exponent rules -
Therefore, 4² = 4×4 = 16
3² = 3×3 = 9
You might know about Quadratic Equation. When x-term is squared, square both sides would give the constant/number both plus-minus.
However, the length/area/width for basic geometry cannot be negative.
Thus, we clear out the negative (minus away)
Thus, the answer is x = 5 (The last choice.)
Hope this helps! :)
