Question

For the following right triangle, find the side length x. Round your answer to the nearest hundredth.108Х

Answer 1

We can use in this case the pythagorean theorem to find the value of x, since the figure shows a right triangle. We have the following:

$x=\sqrt[]{(10)^2+(8)^2}=\sqrt[]{100+64}=\sqrt[]{164}=12.81$

therefore, x = 12.81
