Pytharorean therum...can only be used on right triangles
a^2 + b^2 = c^2...a and b r ur legs and c is ur hypotenuse
10^2 + 24^2 = c^2
100 + 576 = c^2
676 = c^2
sqrt 676 = c
26 = c <== ur hypotenuse is 26 cm

By Pythagoras' Theorem:

x² = 10² + 24²

x² = 100 + 576

x² = 676

x² = √676

x = 26

Hypotenuse = 26 cm

The measures of the angles of a triangle solve for X

kompoz [17]

Answer:

x = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Because this is a right triangle, one angle is a right angle (90°). All triangles have all three angle measures adding up to 180°, so the other two angles' measures add up to 90° (90 + 90 = 180).

Combine like terms of the angle measures.

6x + 9x = 15x

-3 + (-12) = -15

15x - 15

Because the sum of the measures of the two angles have to equal 90,

15x - 15 = 90

Add 15 from both sides.

15x = 105

Divide both sides by 15.

x = 7

To check, substitute 7 in both expressions.

6(7) - 3 = 39

9(7) - 12 = 51

39 + 51 + 90 (the measure of the right angle) = 180, so the value of x is 7.

I hope this helped :)

Find the value of <br> x<br> x<br> that makes the expressions equivalent.<br> 2(x+9); 30+18

Vlada [557]

Answer:

$x=15$

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the equations $2(x+9), 30+18$ to search for a value of $x$ that yields an equivalent statement. $2(x+9)=30+18\\2(x+9)=48\\x+9=24\\x=15$ .
