Question

Look at the geometry question and solve for X.

Answer 1

The value of x = 24.4 units.

Explanation:

Given

• a = 14

• b = 20

• c = x

For a right-angled triangle with sides a and b, the hypotenuse c is defined as

`c=√(a^2+b^2)`

substituting c = x, a = 14 and b = 20

`c=√(14^2+20^2)`

`c=2√(149)`

`c = 24.4` units

Therefore, the value of x = 24.4 units.
