Explanation:

fig(1)

h=x

p=3

b=7

now,

h^2=p^2+b^2. (by Pythagoras theory)

or, x^2=3^2+7^2

or, x^2=9+49

or, x^2=58

or, x=√58

fig(2)

h=x

p=12

b=9

now,

h^2=p^2+b^2

or, x^2=12^2+9^2

or, x^2=144+81

or, x^2=225

or, x=15

Answer:

Fig. 1 :- 7.6

Fig. 2 :- 15

Explanation:

We can use Pythagoras theorem to solve for x


c^(2) =a^(2) +b^(2)

Figure 1:


c^(2) =7^(2) +3^(2)


c^(2) =49+9


c^(2) =58


c=√(58)


c=7.615773106

You can now round your answer:


c=7.6

Figure 2:


c^(2) =12^(2) +9^(2)


c^(2) =144+81


c^(2) =225


c=√(225)


c=15

I hope this helps :)
