Answer 1

x ≈ 21.75

Explanation:

Formula we use,

→ (AC)² = (AB)² + (BC)²

Then the value of x will be,

→ (AC)² = (AB)² + (BC)²

→ (27)² = (x)² + (16)²

→ 729 = x² + 256

→ x² = 729 - 256

→ x = √(473)

→ x = 21.7485631709

→ [ x ≈ 21.75 ]

Hence, value of x is 21.75.

Answer 2

• x = 21.75 (or 22 if the answer is the whole number)

======================

This is a right triangle.

Two sides are given and one missing side to be found.

Use Pythagorean:

• x² + 16² = 27²
• x² + 256 = 729
• x² = 729 - 256
• x² = 473
• x = √473
• x = 21.75 rounded
