Question

Please help!!! Geometry

Answer 1

Answer:

x=26

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the Pythagorean theorem for this answer.

Pythagorean Theorem: a^2 +b^2 = c^2

We can see that both triangles are right triangles. We should first find the hypotonus of the bottom triangle.

So, we plug in the values.

6^2 +8^2 = c^2

36 +64 = c^2

c^2= 100

c= square root of 100

c=10

The hypotonus for the bottom triangle is equivalent to the base of the top triangle. Therefore, we can use the Pythagorean Theorem again.

10^2 +24^2= c^2

100+576+c^2

c^2 = 676

c= square root of 676

c= 26

The answer to the problem is 26.
