Question

Find the value of x. A. 53–√ in B. 241−−√ in C. 55–√ in D. 9

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 5√3 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the triangle is a right angled triangle we can use Pythagoras theorem to find the missing side x

Using Pythagoras theorem we have

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

where a is the hypotenuse

Substitute the values into the above formula

The hypotenuse is 10 inches

We have

${10}^{2} = {5}^{2} + {x}^{2}$

${x}^{2} = {10}^{2} - {5}^{2}$

${x}^{2} = 100 - 25$

${x}^{2} = 75$

We have the final answer as

x = 5√3 inches
