Question

Help me please with this question :o

Answer 1

Answer: For the first pic, c= 17.20. For the second pic, x= 50.

Explanation:

We need to use the Pythagorean theorem for these problems. A^2 + B^2= C^2

For the square (first picture).

It doesn't matter what values we put for A and B, as long as the hypotenuse (denoted in the picture as c) is C.

Let A= 10, and B=14

Plug the values into the equation!

`(10)^2 + (14)^2 = C^2`

Simplify:
`100 + 196 = C^2`

`296 = C^2`

`√(296) = √(C^2)`

`√(296) = C`

17.20= C

Therefore, c= 17.20

PICTURE #2:

Complete the problem exactly how you did the first one.

Let A=48, and B=14

Plug those values into the pythagorean theorem...

`(48)^2 + (14)^2 = C^2`

Simplify:
`2304 + 196 = C^2`

2500 = C^2

`√(2500) =√(C^2)`

`√(2500) = C`

50= C

SO, 50 = x

Hope this all helps!!
