Answer:

x=15

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you are going to find a Pythagorean Triple. As you can see from the picture you have provided, 17 ft is the longest side. So, I squared 17 and got 289. I did this because I am using the Pythagorean Theorem (a^2+b^2=c^2). Then, I squared 8 and got 64. Then, still following the Pythagorean Theorem, I subtracted 64 from 289. I got 225. Then, I found the square root of 225. I got 15. So, x=15.

Answer: 15

Step-by-step explanation: I used the pythagorean theorem. X is a, 8 is b, and 17 is c. The squares of a and b added together are c. So I got 15.

When using pi, do you use 3.14 or 3.141592653?
sergey [27]

Answer:

You would usually use 3.14

Step-by-step explanation:

It kind of depends on where you are using it. In an equation, pi would be used as 3.14 and the answer would be approximated. To write it anywhere else (I dont know where else you would though), you would do the pi symbol. I hope this helps.
