Question

Find the missing length indicated.​

Answer 1

192

Explanation:

x is the altitude of the right triangle. Thus, we would apply the geometric mean theorem to find the value of x. Thus, the formula is given as:

h = √(ab)

Where,

h = altitude = x

a = 144

b = 400 - 144 = 256

Plug in the given values into the formula

x = √(144*256)

x = √(36,864)

x = 192
