Question

please help me thanks if you do :') it would also be awesome if you could explain but its ok if you can't i guess. Find x

Answer 1

`x=4√(2)\ units`

Explanation:

Theorem: In the right triangle the leg is the geometric mean of the hypotenuse and the segment of the hypotenuse adjacent to the leg.

Based on the theorem above,

`x^2=2\cdot (2+6)\\ \\x^2=4\cdot 8\\ \\x^2=32\\ \\x=√(32)\ units\\ \\x=4√(2)\ units`
