Question

What is the value of x? x =
24
7
X

Answer 1

25

Explanation:

According to Pythagoras theorem,

H²=P²+B²

(H-hypotenuse, P-perpendicular, B-Base)

X²=24²+7²

X²=576+49

X²=625

X²=25²

X=25

Answer 2

x = 25

Explanation:

Following the Pythagoras' Theorem,

a² + b² = c²

24² + 7² = c²

c² = 625

∴ c = 25

In this case, since the length of the hypotenuse is x cm, ∴ c = x.

∴ x = 25
