Question

Find the value of x. A. 10 B. 12 C. 27 D. 43.5

Answer 1

Answer:

C. 27

Step-by-step explanation:

well we can use the pythagorean theorem for this and disregard the 11. so we have the hypotenuse and one side so therefore a^2+b^2=c^2 and if we plug in the numbers it would look like this

16.5^2+x^2=29^2

272.25+x^2=841

x^2=568.75

and from multiple choice we can infer that the answer is obviously bigger than 16.5 because in the picture x is a longer side but it is smaller than 29 and the only answer in between those two numbers given would be C. 27
