Question

Find the value of x using the diagram below. Round to the nearest whole number.

A. 25

B. 28

C. 32

D. 30

Answer 1

Answer:
C. 32

Step-by-step explanation:
Base of larger triangle
= Hypotenuse of smaller triangle
= √(14^2+14^2)
= 14√2

So,
x
= Hypotenuse of larger triangle
= √(25^2+(14√2)^2)
= √(625+392)
= √1017
= √(9 * 113)
= 3 √113
= 31.89
= 32 approximately

So the correct answer is C. 32
