Х
2 in
O A &
B. 318
O c. 8v3
OD. 112

Answer 1

13.85

Explanation:

U use the pythagorean theorem

So 2^2 + x^2 = 14^2

Simplify the equation: 4+x^2=196

--> x^2=192

--> x=13.85

-Hope this helps :)

Answer 2

9514 1404 393

Answer:

c. 8√3

Explanation:

The Pythagorean theorem applies.

14² = s² + 2²

s = √(14² -2²) = √192 = 8√3

The length of the remaining side is 8√3.
