Question

What is the value of x in the circle on the right?

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 3.4

Step-by-step explanation:

The triangle in the figure is a right triangle.

To obtain the value of x, we apply the Pythagorean theorem as follows:

`\begin{gathered} x^2+14^2=(x+11)^2 \\ x^2+14^2=x^2+22x+121 \\ 22x=14^2-121 \\ 22x=75 \\ x=(75)/(22)=3.4 \end{gathered}`
