Question

I already solve this question first I got x=26 and x=21.8 I want to know what is the answer ​

Answer 1

`\large\boxed{\sf x = 26}`

Explanation:

A right angled triangle is given to us and we need to find out the value of x . We may use Pythagoras Theorem here as ,

`\longrightarrow hypotenuse^2=perpendicular ^2+base^2 \\`

Here ,

• perpendicular = 24
• hypotenuse = x
• base = 10

On substituting the respective values , we have ;

`\longrightarrow x^2 = 24^2+10^2 \\`

Solve the square ,

`\longrightarrow x^2 = 576+100\\`

Add ,

`\longrightarrow x^2 = 676 \\`

Put squareroot on both the sides ,

`\longrightarrow x =√(676) \\`

Simplify ,

`\longrightarrow \underline{\underline{ x =26}} \\`
