Question

Solve for the missing variable 9 4 and x pls help need in 2 hours

Answer 1

81/4

Explanation:

By the Pythagorean theorem, the length of the altitude drawn from the hypotenuse is

`√(65)`

This means that by the geometric mean theorem, that out of the two segments the hypotenuse is split into, the one with unknown length has length 65/4.

Thus, x = 65/4 + 4 = 81/4.
