Answer:

Explanation:

PART A

The Pythagoras theorem is expressed as

Hypotenuse^2 = opposite side^2 + adjacent side^2

PART 2

The hypotenuse is the longest side of the triangle. Looking at the given triangle, the longest side is the side with the length of 7. Therefore, hypotenuse = 7

PART C

To determine x, we will apply the Pythagoras theorem as stated above.

Opposite side = √14

Adjacent side = x

Therefore

7^2 = x^2 + (√14)^2

49 = x^2 + 14

x^2 = 49-14 = 35

Taking square root of both sides of the equation, it becomes

x = √35

x = 5.92
