Question

Solve for X. pls help asap

Answer 1

6.7

Explanation:

Hypotenuse (h) = 9

base (b) = X

Perpendicular (p) = 6

Now,

Using Pythagoras theorem:

`{h}^(2) = {p}^(2) + {b}^(2)`

`{b}^(2) = {h}^(2) - {p}^(2)`

`{b}^(2) = {(9)}^(2) - {(6)}^(2)`

`{b}^(2) = 81 - 36`

`{b}^(2) = 45`

`b = √(45)`

`b = 6.7`

Hope this helps...

Good luck on your assignment..

Answer 2

x=3

Explanation:

Use the Pythagorean Theorem to write an equation.

x^2+y^2=z^2

Substitute values from the problem.

x^2 + 6^2 = 9^2

Solve for what you know.

x^2 + 36 = 81

Square root it.

x+6=9

Subtract 6 from both sides.

x=3

In the future, if you see a right triangle with an unknown side, and the other two sides are either 3, 6, or 9, you know that the other one is the missing value out of 3/6/9. This is called a 3/6/9 triangle.
