Question

Find the missing length indicated​

Answer 1

192

Explanation:

Apply the geometric mean formula to solve for x, which is the altitude of the right triangle.

The formula is:

h = √(mn)

h = x = ?

m = 144

n = 400 - 144 = 256

Substitute

h = √(256*144)

h = √36,864

h = 192

Therefore, x = 192
