Question

Find the value of X. If necessary write in radical form

Answer 1

Explanation:

`a^(2) +b^(2) =c^(2) \\6^(2) +7^(2) =x^(2) \\√(85) = x`

Answer 2

sqrt(85) =x

Explanation:

Since this is a right triangle, we can use the Pythagorean theorem to find the hypotenuse

a^2 + b^2 = c^2 where a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse

6^2 + 7^2 = x^2

36+49 = x^2

85 = x^2

Take the square root of each side

sqrt(85) = sqrt(x^2)

sqrt(85) =x
