Answer:
9.64ft
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the diagram tends to form...a right angled triangle....;
with PR = 17ft...,PQ = 14ft
then to calculate the length of QR
we use the pythagoras theorem...which is only applicable to right angled triangles
PR^2 = PQ^2 + QR^2
(17)^2 = (14)^2 + QR^2
where we make QR the subject of formula;
QR^2 = (17)^2 - (14)^2
QR = square root of( 289 - 196)
QR = square root of( 93)
;Therefore the length of QR = 9.64ft
X = 5
So 3x = 3(5) = 15
3x = 15
