the green box.

Answer 1

X=33

Explanation:

this is a right traingle so you can use pythagorean theorem

A^2 +B^2 =C^2

A^2 +44^2= 55^2

A^2 + 1936= 3025 subtract 1936 from both sides

A^2= 1089 now square root both sides

A=33

Answer 2

Explanation:

x^2 + 44^2 = 55^2

x^2 + 1936 = 3025

3025-1936 = 1089

sqrt(1089) = 33

x = 33
