Question

Find the length of x round your answer to the nearest hundredth

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 7.55

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the Pythagorean theorem to solve

a^2 +b^2 = c^2

where a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse

a^2 +8^2 = 11^2

x^2 +64 = 121

Subtract 64 from each side

x^2 +64-64 = 121-64

x^2 =57

Take the square root of each side

sqrt(x^2) = sqrt(57)

x = 7.549834435

To the nearest hundredth

x = 7.55
