Question

For the following right triangle, find the side length x. Round your answer to the nearest hundredth

Answer 1

Answer:

10.72 (in whatever unit your using)

Step-by-step explanation:

You have the hypotenuse and a side given to you. Here, the Pythagorean Theorem can be used.

$a^{2} +b^{2} =c^{2}$

Manipulate the formula for answering side X

$c^{2} -a^{2} =b^{2}$

Fill in the unknowns

$14^{2} -9^{2} =x^{2}$

$196-81=x^{2}$

$115=x^{2}$

$\sqrt{115}=\sqrt{x^{2}}$

$10.7238053...=x$

Round

$10.72=x$
