The answer is A
Hope this helps!!
What you wanna do here is use a calculator, as "e" in mathematics refers to the "e" on a calculator. The tricky part about this question is that the answer for the equation is the given percentage, NOT the value for "x". From there, plug in the multiple choice answers for "x" and see which one works!
In this case, A is the correct answer. B is absurdly large, so I omitted it immediately in the attached picture.
Answer:
C
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 2 other sides, that is
x² + 6² = 17²
x² + 36 = 289 ( subtract 36 from both sides )
x² = 253 ( take the square root of both sides )
x =
→ C
