Question

37
35
Х
x =

What’s the answer?

Answer 1

Answer: x = 12

Explanation:

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

35^2 + b^2 = 37^2

b^2 = 1369 - 1225

b = √144 = 12

Answer 2

12

Explanation:

use Pythagorean theorem

37^2 = 35^2 + x^2

x= ±
`\sqrt[2]{37^2-35^2}`

x1 = 12

x2= -12 but it is illogical as length cannot be negative

answer: x = 12
