Question

Find the x in the tringle

Answer 1

3.5

Explanation:

pythagorean therom 1.6^2+3^2=x^2

Answer 2

x = 3.4

Explanation:

→You can use the Pythagorean Theorem to solve this:

`a^2+b^2=c^2`

→The "a," and "b," are the legs, 3 and 1.6, and the "c," is the hypotenuse, which we are trying to find.

`1.6^2+3^2=c^2`

`2.56 + 9 = c^2`

→Add like terms (2.56 and 9) together:

`11.56 = c^2`

→We need to get "c," by itself, and to do this we need to square root both sides, like so:

`√(11.56) =√(c^2)`

`3.4 = c`
