Question

Find the value of X. Round to the
nearest tenth.

Answer 1

x ≈ 4.4 in

Explanation:

Using Pythagoras' identity in the right triangle

with legs 2.4 and (7.4 ÷ 2) = 3.7 , x is the hypotenuse, then

x² = 2.4² + 3.7² = 5.76 + 13.69 = 19.45 ( take square root of both sides )

x =
`√(19.45)` ≈ 4.4 in ( to the nearest tenth )
