Based on Pythagorean theorem, the length of the segment (x) indicated is: D. 3.4.

In Mathematics and Geometry, Pythagorean's theorem is an Euclidean postulate that can be modeled or represented by the following mathematical equation:


c^2=a^2+b^2

Where:

  • a is the opposite side of a right-angled triangle.
  • b is the adjacent side of a right-angled triangle.
  • c is the hypotenuse of a right-angled triangle.

In order to determine the length of segment x, we would have to apply Pythagorean's theorem as follows;


x^2=10.2^2-9.6^2\\\\x^(2) =104.04-92.16\\\\x^(2) =11.88\\\\x=√(11.88)

x = 3.44 ≈ 3.4
