Question

Solve for x. 3 24 x (please help me with this one)

Answer 1

when running a line, in a right-triangle, from the 90° angle perpendicular to its opposite side, we will end up with three similar triangles, one Small, one Medium and a containing Large one. Check the picture below.

`\cfrac{x}{3}=\cfrac{24}{x}\implies x^2=72\implies x=√(72)\implies x=6√(2)\implies x\approx 8.49`
