Answer:

x = 9 cm

Explanation:

Use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the length of the missing side.

a² + b² = c²

a² + (6)² = (√117)²

a² + 36 = 117

a² = 81

a = √81

a = 9

X is equal to 9 cm.

Hope this helps.

Answer:

9 cm

Explanation:

Pythagorean's Theorem: a^2+b^2=c^2

x^2+6^2=117 (the square root of 117, squared)

X^2+36=117

x^2=117-36

x^2=81

x=9
