Answer:
x=10
Step-by-step explanation:
We can use the Pythagorean theorem to find x
The height meets the base at a right angle
The base is bisected ( cut in half) so the base is 6 the height is 8
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
6^2 + 8^2 = x^2
36+64 = x^2
100 = x^2
Taking the square root of each side
sqrt(100) = sqrt(x^2)
10 = x
I am not 100% positive but I think it is 4117.66
Solve for the first variable in one of the equations, then substitute the result into the other equation.
