Question

Solve for x. Solve for x.

Answer 1

Answer:

4√3

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a right triangle. When two sides are given in a right triangle, we need to use the Pythagorean Theorem to solve for the third side.

Pythagorean Theorem: a² + b² = c²

The a here is 11, while the b is x. The c is always the hypotenuse (the longest side), which is 13.

Now we substitute:

11² + x² = 13²

121 + x² = 169

-121           -121

x² = 48

√x² = √48

x = √48 <-- We can simplify that.

√48 = 12 * 4 = 3 * 4 * 4 = 4√3

Answer 2

Answer:

4*√3

Step-by-step explanation:

By Pythagoras Theorem,

11²+x²=13²

x²=169-121=48

x=4√3
