Answer 1

C. x = 4√70

Explanation:

To find x, we would apply the leg rule.

Leg rule is:

Hypotenuse/leg = leg/part

Hypotenuse = 36 + 20 = 56

Leg = x

Part = 20

Plug in the values into the equation

Thus, we would have:

56/x = x/20

Cross multiply

x*x = 56*20

x² = 1,120

x = √1,120

x = √(16*70)

x = 4√70
