Question

Someone help please and asap

Answer 1

`17√(2)` or approximately 5.83

Explanation:

The triangle is a right triangle so we use Pythagorean theorem to find the missing side.

`a^(2) + b^(2) =c^(2)`

x is the hypotenuse so that has to be the value of c but the other two sides are interchangeable.

`3^(2) + 5^(2) = x^(2)\\\\9+25=x^(2) \\\\34=x^(2) \\`

Square both sides to isolate the x.

`√(34) =x`

Simplify

`17√(2) =x\\`

Answer 2

x=5.8

Explanation:

a^2+b^2=c^2

3^2+5^2=x^2

9+25 = 34

`\sqrt{34)` = 5.8
