Question

Find the value of x in the triangle shown below. a. x=21 b. x=42 c. x= 15 d. x=21

Answer 1

THEOREM:

• Pythagorean theorem:— In a right-angled triangle, the square of the hypotenuse side is equal to the sum of squares of the other two sides.

ANSWER:

By pythagorean property,

• x² = 12² + 9²
• x² = 144 + 81
• x² = 225
• x = √225
• x = 15 units.

So, Correct choice - [C] 15 units.

Answer 2

Answer:

Answer:

$\huge\mathfrak\pink{S} \huge\mathfrak\purple{o} \huge\mathfrak\blue{l} \huge\mathfrak\red{u} \huge\mathfrak\green{t} \huge\mathfrak\pink{i}\huge\mathfrak\purple{o}\huge\mathfrak\red{n}\huge\mathfrak\orange{➔}$

by using Pythagoras law:

h²=p²+b²

x²=9²+12²

x=√225=15unit
