Question

Find the length of the missing

Answer 1

Answer:

12

Step-by-step explanation:

using pythagoras theorem

here 15 is hypotenuse since it is opposite 0f 90 degree

9 and x are the other smaller sides of a triangle

according to pythagoras thorem the sum of square of two smaller sides of a triangle is equal to the square of hypotenuse. So,

9^2 + x^2 = 15^2

81 + x^2 = 225

x^2 = 225 - 81

x^2 = 144

x = $\sqrt{144$

x = 12

Answer 2

X = 12
By Pythagoras Theorem
H^2 = P^2 + B^2
15^2 = 9^2 + x^2
225 = 81 + x^2
225-81 = x^2
x^2 = 144
x = root 144
x = 12
