Question

14. Find the value of x. Round to the nearest tenth(4 points).X(legi)2 + (leg2)2 = (hypotenuse)2 4m6 m

Answer 1

To find x, we have to use Pythagorean's Theorem.

`(hip)^2=(leg_1)^2+(leg_2)^2`

Let's replace each of them.

`x^2=4^2+6^2`

Let's solve for x.

`\begin{gathered} x=\sqrt[]{16+36} \\ x=\sqrt[]{52}\approx7.2 \end{gathered}`

Therefore, x is 7.2, approximately.
