A) 8^2 + 12^2=c^2
c= 4(13) or 14.42
B) 8^2 + b^2=12^2
b=4(5) or 8.94
Answer:
(B)
Step-by-step explanation:
First, we determine the height of the triangle which we label as y.
Using Pythagoras Theorem.

In the smaller right triangle with hypotenuse, x
Base = 7-3 =4 Units
Height, y= 24 Units
Therefore, applying Pythagoras Theorem.:

Answer:
-8±√17 and -8±6√2
Step-by-step explanation:
1. x+16/x=4, x^2+16-4x=0. x=-8±√17
2. x+16/x=8, x^2+16-8=0. x=-8±6√2
