Answer:
x = 4.3588 ≅ 4.36 units
Explanation:
We have given a right triangle.
Two sides of triangle is given.
Hypotenuse = 10 units , Base = 9 and Perpendicular=x = ?
We have to find the value of x.
We use pythagorean theorem to solve this.
(Perpendicular)²+(base)² = (hypotenuse)²
Putting values , we have
x²+(9)² = (100)²
x²+81 = 100
x² = 100-81
x² = 19
x = √19
x = 4.3588
We have to round it of to nearest hundredth.
x = 4.3588 ≅ 4.36 units
