Question

I WILL GIVE 20 POINTS TO THOSE WHO ANSWER THIS QUESTION RIGHT NOOOO SCAMS AND EXPLAIN WHY THAT IS THE ANSWER what is the value of X in simplest radical form?

X=_____

Answer 1

x = 29

Explanation:

To find x, we can use the Pythagorean theorem.

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

21^2 + 20^2 = x^2

441 + 400 = x^2

841 = x^2

`√(841)` =
`√(x^2)`

29 = x

Answer 2

x= 29

Explanation:

use Pythagoras because it has a right angle and 2 sides length is given.

when the hypoteneus(side opposite the right angle) is the value you are finding out you use the equation : x²+y²=hypoteneus² (Pythagoras)

then you sub in the values you are given

(21)² + (20)² = hypoteneus²

them take the square root (²) to the opposite side to find the hypoteneus

square root (441+400) = hypoteneus

now you can put into a calculator and you get the value

hypoteneus =29 (for reference to hypoteneus is the same as X-the value you are looking for)

therefore, x=29

for extra reference, say you want to work out a side that is not the hypotenues you use the formula ,

(side u looking for)² = (hypotenues)² - (other side given)²
