Answer:

15

Step-by-step explanation:

Pythagorean  thm. says a^2+b^2=c^2 where a and b are the legs of the triangle and c is the hypotenuse.

The hypotenuse, c = 17

Leg b =8

a^2=c^2-b^2

a^2=17*17-8*8

a^2=289-64

a^2=225

Take the square root of both sides.

a = 15

suppose Q is the midpoint of PR. use the information to find the missing value. PQ equals 3x + 14 and QR equals 7X - 10; find X.
NARA [144]

Answer:

x=6

Step-by-step explanation:

A midpoint is the middle point of a line segment, therefore it is equal distances from both ends of the segment.

This means that PQ and QR have the same length. So all we have to do is set each value equal to each other, and then solve for X.

3x+14=7x-10\\3x+24=7x\\24-4x\\x=6
