Answer:
x = 10
Step-by-step explanation:
Use Pythagorean theorem to find the value of x
Focus only on one half of the triangle
if we slice the triangle in half, we get a right angle triangle
the base will now be 12/2 = 6
Pythagorean theorem says that
plug 6 as a and 8 as b.
this should give you 100
now take the square root to find c (which equals x)
Ta-da!
√8 is between 2 and 3, because 2²=4<8, but 3²=9>8. Also, our value is closer to 3 than to 2, so it is more than 2.5 and we have C and D options left.
Among these two numbers we find the one which is closer to √8.
C. 27=√729 ⇒ 2.7=√7.29
D. 28=√784 ⇒ <u>2.8=√7.84</u>
Hence our answer is D) 2.8
