NEED ASAP

What is the value of x in the figure below? Show your work(3 Points). Correct Answer (2 Points)

Answer 1

Explanation:

BP ^2 = AP*PC

AP = 5

PC = 8

BP^2 = 5 * 8

BP^2 = 40

Don't bother taking it down any further. We are going to need it as it is.

BP^2 + PC^2 = x^2

BP^ = 40

PC^2 = 8^2 = 64

40 + 64 = x^2

104 = x^2

sqrt(x^2) = sqrt(104)

x = 2 sqrt(26) or

x = 10.198
