Answer:


\huge \boxed{\mathrm{3.91 \ m}}

Explanation:

The triangle is a right triangle.

The hypotenuse length of the right triangle is not given.

We can use Pythagorean theorem to solve for the hypotenuse.


c=√(a^2 +b^2 )

c is the hypotenuse length of the right triangle.

a and b are the legs of the right triangle.


x=√(3^2 +2.5^2 )

Evaluate and solve for x.


x=√(9+6.25)


x=√(15.25)


x= 3.905125...

Your question has been heard loud and clear.

This is a right triangle , which means it has a hypotenuse ( longest side of the triangle)

X is the length of the hypotenuse. We need to find x.

By Pythagoras theorem ,

Side^2+side^2= Hypotenuse^2

2.5^2+3^2= x^2

= 6.25+9=x^2

15.25=x^2

So , x = root of 15.25 = 3.9

Therefore , x= 3.9

Thank you
