Question

How do you solve this ?

Answer 1

x=37.3

Explanation:

Since we're looking for "x" we need to use "the Pythagorean theorem".

13mm will be our "A" and 35mm will be our "B" will "x" being the hypotenuse.

Since x is the hypotenuse, it needs to be a number greater than 13 and 35.

c=√(a² + b²)

Making it c=√(13² + 35²)

Making C=37.336 or 37.3

Therefore making, x=37.3

Answer 2

x = 37 mm

Explanation:

using the Pythagorean theorem:

m² = 13² - 5² = 169 - 25 = 144

m = √144 = 12 mm

x² = 12² + 35² = 144 + 1225 = 1369

x = √1369 = 37 mm
