Question

Find the value of x in the picture below. (round to nearest tenth if needed) THANK YOU FOR HELPING ME:)

Answer 1

x ≈ 9.6

Explanation:

Using Pythagoras' identity in the right triangle, that is

x² + 14² = 17²

x² + 196 = 289 ( subtract 196 from both sides )

x² = 93 ( take the square root of both sides )

x =
`√(93)` ≈ 9.6 (to the nearest tenth )
