Question

Find the value of x using the diagram below. Round to the nearest whole number.

Answer 1

Answer:
C. 32

Explanation:
Base of larger triangle 
= Hypotenuse of smaller triangle
= √(14^2+14^2)
= 14√2

So,
x 
= Hypotenuse of larger triangle 
= √(25^2+(14√2)^2) 
= √(625+392)
= √1017
= √(9 * 113)
= 3 √113
= 31.89 
= 32 approximately

So the correct answer is C. 32
