Question

Given the right triangle below what is x? Triangle Side #1 is 4 Triangle Side #2 is 10 Answers: A. 9.2 B.10.8 C. 84 D. 116

Answer 1

9.2

Explanation:

Using the pythagoras therorem

hyp^2 = opp^2 + adj^2

10^2 = 4^2 _+ x^2

100 = 16 + x^2

x^2 = 100 - 16

x^2 = 84

x = √84

x = 9.2

Hence the value of x is 9.2
