Answer:

11.281

Explanation:

For this question, since we see a right angle triangle, we know that we can use Pythagoras' Theorem to solve for this question.

By Pythagoras' Theorem,


{c}^(2) = {a}^(2) + {b}^(2) \\ {x}^(2) = {4.6}^(2) + {10.3}^(2) \\ \\ {x}^(2) = 127.25 \\ x = √(127.25) \\ = 11.281 \: or \: ( √(509) )/(2)
