Question

Find x. Round to the nearest tenth and only type the number for your

answer.
25
X
16
22

Answer 1

10.7

Explanation:

To find x we have to basically do pythagoream theorem twice. Both the traingles share the same long side. The find the long side of the top traingle do,
`a^(2) +16^(2) =25^(2)`, and we find the long side to be
`√(369)`. Using this we now plug it into the pythagoream theorem for the bottom triangle.
`√(369) ^(2) +x^(2) =22^(2)`, and doing this out we find that x=
`√(115)` or about 10.7.
