Question

Find the value of x. Round your answer to the nearest tenth.

Answer 1

10.4

Explanation:

pagathorium theorem, A^2 + B^2 = C^2. You have the C and one length, the other can be found. So 6^2 + B^2 = 12^2. Then you have 36 + B^2 = 144. You use simple algrebra to solve the rest. 144-36 is 108. Now it's B^2 = 108. The opposite of squared is sqare root. So now you can have B all along (Missing side) with the answer ebing B = 10.392 or rounded 10.4

Answer 2

Pythagorean Theorem:

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

6^2 + b^2 = 12^2

36 + b^2 = 144

b^2 = 108

b = 10.4
