Step-by-step explanation:
As per the problem, the given triangle is a right triangle. This is signified by the box around one of its angles, this box states that the angle it is surrounding is a right angle.
Since it is a right triangle, one can use the Pythagorean theorem to solve this problem. The Pythagorean theorem states that; (), where (
) and (
) are the legs of the right triangle, or the sides adjacent to the right angle. (
) is the hypotenuse or the side opposite the right angle.
Substitute in the given values and solve, note that () represents the unknown leg (side).

Step-by-step explanation:
There are formulas for the real and/or complex roots of a cubic, but they are so complicated that they are rarely used. Instead, various other strategies are employed. My favorite is the simplest--let a graphing calculator show you the zeros.
___
Descartes observed that the sign changes in the coefficients can tell you the number of real roots. This expression has two sign changes (+-+), so has 0 or 2 positive real roots. If the odd-degree terms have their signs changed, there is only one sign change (-++), so one negative real root.
It can also be informative to add the coefficients in both cases--as is, and with the odd-degree term signs changed. Here, the sum is zero in the first case, so we know immediately that x=1 is a zero of the expression. That is sufficient to help us reduce the problem to finding the zeros of the remaining quadratic factor.
__
Using synthetic division (or polynomial long division) to factor out x-1 (after removing the common factor of 4), we find the remaining quadratic factor to be x²+x-4.
The zeros of this quadratic factor can be found using the quadratic formula:
a=1, b=1, c=-4
x = (-b±√(b²-4ac))/(2a) = (-1±√1+16)/2
x = (-1 ±√17)2
The zeros are 1 and (-1±√17)/2.
_____
The graph shows the zeros of the expression. It also shows the quadratic after dividing out the factor (x-1). The vertex of that quadratic can be used to find the remaining solutions exactly: -0.5 ± √4.25.
__
The given expression factors as ...
4(x -1)(x² +x -4)
