Answer:
x = 11
Step-by-step explanation:
right triangle ABC
using Pythagoras' identity
BC² = 7² + 24² = 49 + 576 = 625 ( take square root of both sides )
BC = 
= 25
Since the triangles are congruent then corresponding sides are congruent.
ST = BC , that is
3x - 8 = 25 ( add 8 to both sides )
3x = 33 ( divide both sides by 3 )
x = 11
in this problem what you are really looking for is which of these sets is a pathagorean triple. That means it will solve the pathagorean theorem. (a sqaured + b squared = c squared) c is always going to be the largest number or the hypotenuse. if you plug all the number sets into the theorem, only one works and that is 7, 24, 25 which is your answer.
Answer:
b
Step-by-step explanation:
It is ten units, as the two sides are of 6 and 8 so you must square them both, add them together (which gives you 100) and then square root that, which gives you 10
