Question

Can someone help me find x ?

Answer 1

x = 15

Explanation:

Apply the keg rule to find x. The keg rule is given as:

Hypotenuse / leg = leg / part of the hypotenuse directly under the leg

Hypotenuse = 25

Leg = x

Part of the hypotenuse directly under the leg = 25 - 16 = 9

Plug in the values

25/x = x/9

Cross multiply

x*x = 25*9

x² = 225

x = √225

x = 15
