Answer:

The value of x=4√6cm or √96cm

Explanation:

According to Pythagoras theorem,

Hypotenuse²=Perpendicular²+Base²

H²=P²+B²

Hypotenuse given=14cm

Base=10cm

Perpendicular=x

14²=P²+10²

196=P²+100

196-100=P²

96=P²

√96=P

4√6cm=x

Answer:

x = 9.8

Explanation:

to find x, use pythagorean theorem


a^(2) = c^(2) - b^(2)


a^(2) = 14^(2) - 10^(2)


a^(2) = 196 - 100


a^(2) = 96


√(a^2) = √(96)


a = 9.7979 ⇒ 9.8
