Answer 1

Answer:

17.3 =x

Step-by-step explanation:

The Pythagorean theorem is

a^2 +b^2 = c^2 where a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse

3^2 +17^2 = x^2

9+289 = x^2

298 = x^2

Take the square root of each side

sqrt(298) = sqrt(x^2)

17.2626765 = x

Rounding to the nearest tenth

17.3 =x

Answer 2

Answer:

17.3

Step-by-step explanation:

x² = 3² + 17²

x² = 9 + 289

x² = 298

x = 17.2626765

x = 17.3
