Answer:
x = 8mi
Step-by-step explanation:
Use Pythagorean theorem! It states that you can find any side of the triangle using the equation + = . The sides a and b are the sides that are shortest, and c is the longest/slanted side (hypotenuse). So plug in what they give you to get + = ( a and b can be used for either number that is not the hypotenuse). A little bit of basic algebra will lead you to get x=8 mi.
