Question

Find x.
14 in.
48 in.
X =
in.

Answer 1

a^2+b^2=c^2
14^2+48^2=c^2
196+2304=c^2
2500=c^2
50=c
your answer is 50

Answer 2

x = 50 in

Explanation:

Since it is a right triangle we can use the Pythagorean theorem

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

14^2 + 48^2 = x^2

196 + 2304 = x^2

2500 = x^2

Take the square root of each side

sqrt(2500) = sqrt(x^2)

50 =x

x = 50 in
