Answer:

\sf D) \sqrt{77} \: ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

→ Perpendicular (x) = ?

→ Hypotenuse (h) = 9 feet

→ Base (b) = 2 feet

Now by using the Phythagoras theorem,

→ (Hypotenuse)² = (Perpendicular)² + (Base)²

→ (h)² = (x)² + (b)²

→ (9)² = (x)² + (2)²

→ 81 = (x)² + 4

→ (x)² = 81 - 4

→ (x)² = 77

→ [ x = √(77) ]

Thus, length of remaining side is √(77) ft.

  • Hypotenuse=H=9ft
  • Base=B=2ft

Apply Pythagorean theorem

  • P²=H²-B²
  • P²=9²-2²
  • P²=81-4
  • P²=77
  • P=√77

Option D

Ray Of Light [21]

Answer:

x = -7

Step-by-step explanation:

5x+8=3x-6

Subtract 3x from each side

5x-3x+8=3x-3x-6

2x+8 = -6

Subtract 8 from each side

2x+8-8 = -6-8

2x = -14

Divide by 2

2x/2 = -14/2

x = -7
