using Pythagorean theorem

a²+b²=c² where 'a'&'b' are legs of the right angle triangle and 'c' is the hypotenuse of the right angle triangle

here two legs are given (7,7) and x is the hypotenuse

=>a²+b²=c²

=>7²+7²=x²

=>x²=49+49

=>x²=98

=>√x²=√98

=>x=7√2

I hope it helps have a great day

\large\mathfrak{{\pmb{\underline{To~find}}:}}

  • The value of x


\large\mathfrak{{\pmb{\underline{Solution}}:}}

  • The given triangle is a right angle triangle


\sf\implies{x^(2)=7^(2)+7^(2)~~~~~~~~(Pythagoras~theorem)}


\sf\implies{x^(2)=49+49}


\sf\implies{x^(2)=98}


\sf\implies{x={√(98)}}


\sf\implies{x={√(49×2)}}


\sf\implies{x={\underline{\boxed{\sf{\pmb{7{√(2)}}}}}}}


\large\therefore\mathfrak{{\pmb{\underline{Solution}}:}}


  • \sf{x={\underline{\underline{\sf{\pmb{7{√(2)}}}}}}}
