The Pythagorean Theorem, Right Triangles Trigonometry

what is the value of x?

A.) 17



B.) 28



C.) 24



D.) 14​

Answer 1

Explanation:

by Pythagorean Theorem :

x² +10² = 26²

x² = 676 - 100

x² = 576

x = 24......(answer : C)

Answer 2

C. 24

Explanation:

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

a and b are the legs of the right triangle. c is the hypotenuse.

a^2 + 10^2 = 26^2

a^2 + 100 = 676

a^2 = 576

Since "a" is to the 2nd power, the opposite would be to square root it.

Square root of 576 is 24.

x = 24
