3
8
x
2


ANSWER ) x = sqrt51

Answer 1

This answer is 76 let me know if I’m wrong

Answer 2

The calculated value of x in the simplest radical form is x = √51

How to determine the value of x

From the question, we have the following parameters that can be used in our computation:

The right triangles

Start by calculating the hypotenuse (h) of the small triangle using the Pythagoras theorem

So, we have

h² = 2² + 3²

h² = 13

The value of x can then be calculated using

x² = 8² - h²

This gives

x² = 8² - 13

Evaluate

x² = 51

So, we have

x = √51

Hence, the value of x is x = √51
