Question

Work out the length of x

Answer 1

x = 25

Explanation:

we are given a right triangle and the measure of its two legs .

x represents the length of the hypotenuse.

……………………………………………………………………

Then (by applying the Pythagorean theorem) we obtain :

`x=\sqrt{24^(2)+7^(2)}`

`=√(576+47)`

`=√(625)`

`=25`
