Answer:


\displaystyle 8,9

Step-by-step Step-by-step explanation:

Deduct one from nine to get eight, then use the Pythagorean Theorem:


\displaystyle a^2 + b^2 = c^2 \\ \\ 8^2 + 4^2 = x^2 \hookrightarrow 64 + 16 = x^2 \hookrightarrow √(80) = √(x^2); 4√(5)\:[or\:8,94427191...] = x \\ \\ \boxed{8,9 \approx x}

I am joyous to assist you at any time.
