Answer:

x ≈ 13.9

Explanation:

Using Pythagoras' identity in the right triangle.

The square on the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares on the other 2 sides , that is

x² + 8² = 16²

x² + 64 = 256 ( subtract 64 from both sides )

x² = 192 ( take square root of both sides )

x =
√(192) ≈ 13.9 ( to the nearest tenth )
