Pythagorean theorem is a^2 + b^2 = c^2
2. You are trying to find x which is c^2
so plug in the other numbers to the other letters. 9^2 + 17^2 = c^2
9^2= 81. 17^2= 289
81 + 289 = 370
370= c^2
Now all you have to do is square root the number
*square root sign* 370
19.24
c = 19.24
So, x = 19.24
Answer: c. f - 3 + 6d
Explanation: 5d - d + 4 + 2d - 5f - 6f - 7
- 5f - 6f = f
4 - 7 = -3
5d - d = 4d, 4d + 2d = 6d
Its -3 or 3 sorry if you get it wrong if its not tight.
