Question

Find the value of x.

Answer 1

Answer:

x=15

Step-by-step explanation:

Radius is 8 since thee short leg is 8 and it is from the center to the ed of the circle. 9 is the length of the hypotenuse from the tip of the triangle to the edge of the circle. The rest is equivalent to the radius which is 8. So hypotenuse  is 17, short leg is 8. Now we have what we need to find x. We can do this by using the formula A^2+B^2=C^2.

8^2=64 C^2=289

289-64=225

225 square root is 15

so x=15
