Question

Can someone help solve for X

Answer 1

Explanation:

Answer 2

x = 2sqrt(5)

Explanation:

We can use the Pythagorean theorem to solve

The legs are x and 8/2 =4

and the hypotenuse is 6

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

x^2 +4^2 = 6^2

x^2 +16 = 36

Subtract 16 from each side

x^2 +16-16=36-16

x^2 = 20

Take the square root of each side

sqrt(x^2) = sqrt(20)

x = sqrt(4*5)

x = sqrt(4) sqrt(5)

x = 2sqrt(5)
