Question

What is the value of x enter your answer in the box

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 25

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the Pythagorean theorem:

$c^2=a^2+b^2$

a,b - legs

c - hypotenuse

We have c = x, a = 7 and b = 24. Substitute:

$x^2=7^2+24^2\\\\x^2=49+576\\\\x^2=625\to x=\sqrt{625}\\\\x=25$
