Question

2. Use the Pythagorean Theorem to find x.
9.2
16.5
Your answer

Answer 1

The value of x = 13.7.

Explanation:

Given

Hypotenuse = c = 16.5

a = 9.2

To determine

x = b ?

For a right-angled triangle with sides a, and b the hypotenuse is defined as

`c=√(a^2+b^2)`

In our case, we have to get x

`b=√(c^2-a^2)`

so substituting b = x, c = 16.5, a = 9.2

`x=√(16.5^2-9.2^2)`

`x=13.7`

Therefore, the value of x = 13.7.
