Answer:

a. x = 4.8989794855663561963945681494118 or 4.9 rounded

b. x = 8.6023252670426267717294735350497 or 8.6 rounded

Explanation:

7² - 5² = x²

49 - 25 = x

49 - 25 = 24

√24 = 4.8989794855663561963945681494118

7² + 5² = x²

49 + 25 = x

49 + 25 = 74

√74 = 8.6023252670426267717294735350497
