Answer:

Option (c) is correct.

The value of x is 9.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Two angles are complementary. They have measures of (7x + 2)° and (3x – 2)°, respectively.

We have to find the value of x.

Two angles are said to be complementary if the sum of measure of angle is 90°.

Given (7x + 2)° and (3x – 2)° are complementary angles.

That is sum of (7x + 2)° and (3x – 2)° is 90°

⇒ (7x + 2)° + (3x – 2)° = 90°

⇒ 7x + 2 + 3x - 2 = 90

⇒ 10x = 90

⇒ x = 9

Thus, the value of x is 9.

Hence, option (c) is correct.

A right triangle has leg lengths of 9 units and 12 units. Write an equation that can be

LenKa [72]

<h2>The Pythagorean Theorem</h2>

The Pythagorean Theorem: $a^2+b^2=c^2$

<em>a</em> and <em>b</em> are the two legs in a right triangle
<em>c</em> is the hypotenuse (the longest side of a right triangle; opposite the 90° angle
<em>*keep in mind that this theorem applies only to right triangles</em>

<h2>Solving the Question</h2>

We're given:

Legs = 9 units and 12 units
Hypotenuse = <em>c</em>

<em />

Plug these measurements into the Pythagorean theorem:

$a^2+b^2=c^2\\9^2+12^2=c^2$

⇒ Combine like terms:

$81+144=c^2\\c^2=225$

<h2>Answer</h2>

$c^2=225$
