Question

Can you please help with this problem

Answer 1

x = 30, -40

Explanation:

This a right triangle, so you can use the Pythagorean Theorem.

`a^(2)+ b^(2)=c^(2)`, now in place of the a, b and c use x, x +10 and 50.

so a = x, b =x+10 and c = 50

`x^(2) + (x+10)^(2) =50^(2)`

`x^(2) +x^(2) +20x +100 = 2500`
