Question

Find the value of x. A.
18
B.
22
C.
24
D.
28

Answer 1

A. 18 is correct it smaller

Answer 2

The correct answer option is A. 18.

Explanation:

We have a right angled triangle with the complete values of two sides: the perpendicular and the base with side lengths 40 and 30 respectively.

We can use the Pythagoras Theorem to find the hypotenuse.

Assuming the hypotenuse to be A:

`A^2 = 30^2+40^2`

`A^2= 900+1600`

`A^2=2500`

`√(A^2) = √(2500)`

`A=50`

To find x, we will subtract 32 from the length of hypotenuse:

`x = 50-32=18`

Therefore, the value of x = 18.
