Question

What is the value of the triangle?

Answer 1

A. x =
`√(104)`

Explanation:

This is a right triangle, so we can use the Pythagorean Theorem, where a and b are legs and c is the hypotenuse (the longest side of the triangle, across from the right angle).

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

Plug in the values.

2^2 + 10^2 = c^2

4 + 100 = c^2

104 = c^2

`√(104) = \sqrt{c^(2)}`

c =
`√(104)`

The answer is A. x =
`√(104)`

Answer 2

A. Square root of 104
