Question

Solve for x provide proofs pleaseee

Answer 1

x = ~4.40 or
`√(19.37)`

Explanation:

This is a right triangle, so we will use the Pythagorean Theorem.

The theorem goes as follows:
`a^2 + b^2 = c^2`

Let's set x as the a value in the theorem. Plug in 6.8 for b, and 8.1 for c.

`x^2 + (6.8)^2 = (8.1)^2`

Then, simplify!

`x^2 + 46.24 = 65.61`

Subtract 46.24 on both sides.

`x^2 = 19.37`

Take the square root of both sides

`x =√(19.37)`

Voila!
