Answer:

The value of the x is 176.6 cm .

Explanation:

By using the pythagorean theorem .

Hypotenuse² = Perpendicular² + Base²

As in the ΔTVY .

TV² = VY² + YT²

As TV= 95.2 cm

VY = 34 cm

Putting the values in the above

95.2² = 34² + YT²

9063.04 - 1156 = YT²

7907.04 = YT²


YT = √(7907.04)

YT = 88.9 cm (Approx)

As in the ΔTYK .

TK² = KY² + YT²

TK = 168 cm

TY= 88.9 cm

Putting the values in the above

168² = 88.9² + YK²

28224 - 7903.21 = YK²


YK = √(20320.79)

YK = 142.6 cm (Approx)

Thus

VK = VY + YK

Putting the values in the above

VK = 34 + 142.6

= 176.6 cm

Therefore the value of the x is 176.6 cm .
