Question

Find x in each triangle. PLZ HELP!!!

Answer 1

Answer:

x=3.4

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the Pythagorean theorem:

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

a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse (x)*

Insert the values:

$3^2+1.6^2=x^2$

Simplify exponents

$9+2.56=x^2$

Simplify addition:

$11.56=x^2$

Find the square root:

$\sqrt{11.56}=\sqrt{x^2}$

$3.4=x\\x=3.4$

Finito.

*The hypotenuse is the side opposite the 90° angle and the longest side of a triangle, always.
