Answer:

1. 15.9

2. 12

3. 7.29

4. 20.8

5. 11.0

Explanation:

We can use the Pythagorean Theorem to solve for x (a squared minus b squared equals c squared)

Example number 1 is solved by 17 squared - 6 squared equals 253

You do square root and get 15.90

Number 4 is you have to divide 24 by 2 because it is one of the sides

So it is 24 squared minus 12 squared

You find square root and get 20.80
