Question

Help Wanted! ‍♀️ Solve for X, Leave answer in simplest radical form. (Multistep Pythagorean Theorem)

Answer 1

x = √39

Explanation:

both triangles have one same side, which can be called y

so y^2 = 10^2 - 6^2

and y^2 = x^2 + 5^2

then x^2 + 5^2 = 10^2 - 6^2

x^2 = 100 - 36 - 25 = 39

x = √39
