Answer:

x = √41

Explanation:

Given a right trapezoid with bases 10 and 14, and height 5, you want the length of the angled side, x.

Pythagorean theorem

The length x is the hypotenuse of a right triangle with one leg 5 units and the other leg (14 -10) = 4 units. It can be found using the Pythagorean relation:

c² = a² +b²

x² = 5² +4² = 25 +16 = 41

x = √41 . . . . . take the square root
