Question

6. What is the length of the hypotenuse of the triangle when x = 3

Round your answer to the nearest tenth.

Answer 1

17.1

Explanation:

Substitute 3 in place of x first, find the last side of the triangle using the Pythagorean theorem.

2x = 2*3 = 6

5x+1 = 5*3+1 = 16

`a^(2) +b^(2) =c^(2) \\\\6^(2) +16^(2) =c^(2)\\17.1 = c`
