Answer:

b = 9 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Pythagorean Theorem:

a^2 + b ^2 = c^2

Given:

a = 12

b = ?

c = 15

Plug in values:

12^2 + b^2 = 12^2

Solve for b^2:

b^2 = 15^2 - 12^2

b^2 = 225 - 144

b^2 = 81

Take square root of both sides to find b:

sqrt(b^2) = sqrt(81)

b = 9


Hope this helps! :)

Find x<br><br> May I please receive help?
NikAS [45]

Answer:

x = 63°

Step-by-step explanation:

See the attachment

The measure of the angles in a triangle = 180 .  If the sides of a triangle are congruent, then the base angles are equal.  So in the triangle with the 72°, you have another angles = 72°.  Looking at the same triangle, 72° + 72° + part of the right angle = 180°. Do the math!  72° + 72° = 140°; 180° -144° = 36° (this is the measure of the piece of the right angle that is in the triangle with the 72° angle..   So the other part of the 90°(right angle) = 90° - 36° = 54°.

Now to solve for x:  You know that if the sides are congruent in a triangle, then the base angles are equal. Thus this triangle angles are x, x, and 54°.

You know that a triangle = 180°, so x + x + 54° = 180°; 2x +54° = 180°;           2x = 126°; x = 63°
