This is a question that can be solved with Pythagorean Theorem since it is a right triangle. The longest side, 29, is the hypotenuse and the sides 21 and x are the legs. So, the Pythagorean Theorem states,

$c^{2}= a^{2}+ b^{2}$

Where,

c is the Hypotenuse, a and b are the legs. Putting the respective values gives us,

$(29)^{2}= (21)^{2} +x^{2} \\841=441+x^{2} \\400=x^{2} \\20=x$

So, 20 is the side length of x.

marcys breakfast table has a square table top with an area of 36 square feet. what is the diagonal length of the table top

MAXImum [283]

Answer:

√36 = 6

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

6^2 + 6^2 = c^2

36 + 36 = c^2

72 = c^2

√72 = c
