Question

What is the value of x

Answer 1

Answer:

x ≈ 19.2 units

Step-by-step explanation:

using Pythagoras' identity in the right triangle.

the square on the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares on the other 2 sides , then

x² + 19² = 27²

x² + 361 = 729 ( subtract 361 from both sides )

x² = 368 ( take square root of both sides )

x = $\sqrt{368}$ ≈ 19.2 ( to the nearest tenth )

Answer 2

Answer:

x = 33

Step-by-step explanation:

$a {}^{2} + b {}^{2} = c {}^{2} \\ 27 {}^{2} + 19 {}^{2} = c {}^{2} \\ 729 + 361 = c {}^{2} \\ 1090 = c {}^{2} \\ \sqrt{1090 } = \sqrt{c {}^{2} } \\ c = 33$
