Question

Anyone willing to help with this mind boggiling question? One person tried answering it besides me and even they can't get it so all the help is very much appreciated!

Answer 1

Explanation:

Using Pythagorean theorem for right triangles

x^2 = 11^2 + 4^2

x^2 = 137

x = sqrt (137) = 11.7 cm

Answer 2

Answer: 11.7 cm

Explanation:

We are given a right triangle with the hypotenuse of x cm and the legs with lengths of 11 cm and 4 cm. We will use the Pythagorean theorem to help us solve.

The Pythagorean theorem:

a² + b² = c²

Substituting known values:

11² + 4² = c²

Square:

121 + 16 = c²

Add:

137 = c²

Square root:

c = 11.7 cm
