Question

Find the value of x in the triangle shown below: 2.5 6.5 Choose 1 answer: I =6 3 = V48.5 x = 9 x = V9

Answer 1

x = 6 units

Explanation:

We know that, By pythagoras theorem,

Hypotenuse2 = base2 + perpendicular2

Given, Hypotenuse = 6.5

perpendicular = 2.5

base = x

So, by putting the values,

6.52 = 2.52 + x2

42.25 = 6.25 + x2

36 = x2

Hence, x = 6 units
