By Pythagoras theorem

RQ^{2}= x^{2} + 16^{2}
RS^{2}= x^{2} + 9^{2}

SQ^{2}= RS^{2}  + RQ^{2}
SQ^{2}= x^{2} + 16^{2}  + x^{2} + 9^{2}
SQ^{2}=2 x^{2} +256+81
25^{2}=2 x^{2} +337
625-337=2 x^{2}
288=2 x^{2}
144= x^{2}
x=12

Answer:  The value of x is 12 units.

Step-by-step explanation:  We are given to find the value of x from the figure.

We can see that triangle RSQ is a right-angled one with m∠SRQ = 90°. And RT is perpendicular to the hypotenuse SQ.

Given ST = 9 units, TQ = 16 units  and  RT = x = ?

Since ΔRSQ is a right-angled triangle with hypotenuse SQ and RT is perpendicular to SQ, so we must have

RT^2=ST\times TQ\\\\\Rightarrow x^2=9\times 16\\\\\Rightarrow x^2=144\\\\\Rightarrow x=\pm \sqrt{144}\\\\\Rightarrow x=\pm12.

Since the length of a line segment cannot be negative, so the value of of x is 12 units.

Thus, the required value of x is 12 units.

Simplify each expression as much as possible, and rationalize denominators when applicable. √72=?
Misha Larkins [42]

Answer:

6√2

Step-by-step explanation:

Solving the given expression step by step:

72 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 × 3

Now for finding the square root we will make pair of two numbers of same values.

We have one pair of 2's and one pair of 3's and left one 2

Thus, √72 = 2 × 3 × √2 = 6√2

We rationalize denominator and change it into a simpler form as soon as possible.
