Question

In right angled triangle (not drawn to scale) measurment (in cm) of two sides are indicated in figure Find value of x in case. (pic is attached on which figure is drawn)

Answer 1

5.29 units

Explanation:

By Pythagoras theorem:

`{6}^(2) + {x}^(2) = {8}^(2) \\ 36 + {x}^(2) = 64 \\ {x}^(2) = 64 - 36 \\ {x}^(2) = 28 \\ x = √(28) \\ x = 5.29150262 \: units \\ x \approx 5.29 \: units`
