Answer 1

3.9

Explanation:

:)

Answer 2

x =3.9

Explanation:

Since this is a right triangle we can use the Pythagorean theorem

a^2 + b^2 =c^2

x^2 + (5x)^2 = 20 ^2

x^2 + 25x^2 = 400

Combine like terms

26 x^2 = 400

Divide each side by 26

x^2 = 400/26

Take the square root of each side

sqrt(x^2) = sqrt(400/26)

x = sqrt(400/26)

x =3.922322703

Rounding to the nearest tenth

x =3.9
