Question

Hello! I need answer 1 solved, for geometry this is a question sheet!

Answer 1

1) We have to solve for x.

We have a right triangle, so we can apply the Pythagorean theorem to relate the side lengths.

As x is the hypotenuse, we can write:

`\begin{gathered} x^2=9^2+15^2 \\ x^2=81+225 \\ x^2=306 \\ x=√(306) \\ x\approx17.5 \end{gathered}`

Answer: x = 17.5
