Answer:


\displaystyle 14 = x

Explanation:

Use the Pythagorean Theorem to define the hypotenuse:


\displaystyle a^2 + b^2 = c^2 \\ \\ -48^2 + 50^2 = x^2 \hookrightarrow -2304 + 2500 = x^2 \hookrightarrow √(196) = √(x^2) \\ \\ \boxed{14 = x}

I am joyous to assist you at any time.

\huge \underline\text{ Hello There}


\text{We know, Pythagoras Theorem}


\implies \text{ (Hypotenuse)²= (Base)² + (Altitude)²}


\text{Here, \red{Hypotenuse}= 50, \red{Base}= x, \red{Altitude}= 48}


\underline \text{To Find, } \text{Value of'x'}


\huge \underline\text \red {Solution}


\implies(50) {}^(2) = {(x)}^(2) + (48) {}^(2) \\ \implies2500 = (x) {}^(2) + 2304


\implies (x) {}^(2) = 2500 - 2304 \\ \implies (x) {}^(2) = 196 \\ \implies x = √(196) \\ \implies x = 14


\therefore \text{Base}= 14

Hope this helps
