Answer 1

x ≈ 8.7

Explanation:

using Pythagoras' identity in the right triangle.

the square on the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares on the other 2 sides, that is

x² + 5² = 10²

x² + 25 = 100 ( subtract 25 from both sides )

x² = 75 ( take square root of both sides )

x =
`√(75)` ≈ 8.7 ( to the nearest tenth )
