Hi there!

We can use pythagorean theorem to solve this problem here. The easiest way to go about solving this problem is to use the theorem to find the hypotenuse, then dividing it by 5 to find the value of x, since the hypotenuse is 5x.

WORK:
27^2 + 36^2 = h^2     (plugging into theorem)
729 + 1296 = h^2     (squaring the numbers)
h^2 = 2025              (adding the numbers together)
hypotenuse = 49    (taking the square root of 2025)
49/5 = x                 (dividing 49 by 5 to find x)
x = 9.8                  (dividing)

Hope this helps!! :)
If there's anything else that I can help you with, please let me know!

Which of the following atoms has the highest electronegativity?
katrin [286]
A. Chlorine is the most electronegative element out of the possible choices. Generally (though not 100% of the time) electronegativity increases as you go further left and up the periodic table.
