Answer 1

So we can solve this using the Pythagorean theorem. The basic equation is as follows:

`a^(2) +b^(2)= c^(2)`

where a and b are the values of the two legs of a right triangle, and c is the value of the hypotenuse.

So let's plug in the values given via the picture:

`14^(2)+ x^(2)= 17^(2)`

And then we solve for x:

`196+x^(2) =289`

`x^(2) =93`

`x=√(93)`

So now we know the value of x is the squareroot of 93.
