Question

What is x, first person gets 5 points

Answer 1

Answer:

x=37

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the Pythagorean Theorem, since this is a right triangle

a^2+b^2=c^2

a and b are the legs, in this case 12 and 35.

c is the hypotenuse, in this case, x. We know it is the hypotenuse because it is opposite of the right angle

12^2+35^2=c^2

144+1225=c^2

Add on the left side

1369=c^2

Take the square root of both sides

c=37

So, x=37
