How do I solve this using the Pythagorean theorem

Answer:
x=3
Step-by-step explanation:
First would need to convert the radical into a number.
And since if you have a perfect square of a radical it goes outside the square root sign, you would take the 3 and square it to make 9 and then take the 2 inside the square root sign and multiply so you have the square root of 18|
Since we have as the Leg c we would need to square it, squaring a square root sign would just cause them to be cancelled out and you being left with 18, afterwards find the square of 3, which is 9
18-9=9
square root of 9 = 3

Answer:
Your age(a) is 15 in this case.
If your brother is 1/3 of your age, that means multiply your brother's age by 3
Your sister is 9, and is 4 years older than your brother. In that case, we now know that your brother is 5
With that information, we can put this into a valid equation.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<em>turn 1/3 into a flipped fraction, 3/1 which is equal to 3</em>
<em>your brother's age is 5, so the first value would be 5</em>
<em>5 times 3 is 15, so that means a is 15</em>
