Question

What is the value of x?

Enter your answer in the box.

Answer 1

Use Pythagorean theorem

`\\ \rm\longmapsto x^2=24^2+7^2`

`\\ \rm\longmapsto x^2=576+49`

`\\ \rm\longmapsto x^2=625`

`\\ \rm\longmapsto x=25`

Answer 2

x = 25

Explanation:

Use Pythagoras' Theorem
`a^s+b^2=c^2`

where a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse of a right triangle

`\implies 7^2+24^2=x^2`

`\implies 49+576=x^2`

`\implies 625=x^2`

`\implies x=√(625)`

`\implies x=\pm25`

`\implies x = 25` only, as distance is positive
