Answer:

For the first triangle, x equals 22cm.

Here's how:-

x is the altitude or height of the triangle. To find it, we can use the Pythagoras theorem:-


altitude^(2) + base^(2) = hypotenuse^(2)

The base is 120cm and the hypotenuse is 122cm

Putting this in the equation, we get:-


altitude^(2) + 120^(2) = 122^(2)


altitude^(2) = 122^(2)- 120^(2)


altitude^(2) = 14884 - 14400


altitude^(2) = 484

altitude =
√(484)

altitude = 22cm

So, x = 22cm
