ANSWER


x=60m

Step-by-step explanation

We want to find the value of x in the right triangle.

To find x, we have to apply the Pythagoras theorem:


\text{hyp}^2=a^2+b^2

where hyp = hypotenuse

a and b are the legs of the triangle

Therefore, we have that:


\begin{gathered} 100^2=80^2+x^2 \\ 10000=6400+x^2 \\ x^2=10000-6400 \\ x^2=3600 \\ \Rightarrow x=\sqrt[]{3600} \\ x=60m \end{gathered}

That is the value of x.
