Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
To do pythagoras theorem
You apply the rules
Which state that,in right angled triangle the square of hypotenus is equal to sum of the square of the other two side. That is
hyp^2=opp^2+adj^2
Any context to this question?
You do inverse op
2.7+23.5=26.2
So it work like this
180-72= 108
x+4=108
x=108-4
x=104
We can turn this word problem into the following equation:
x^2 + 85 = (x - 17)^2
x^2 + 85 = x^2 - 34x + 289
-85 -85
_______________________
x^2 = x^2 - 34x + 204
+34x +34x
_______________________
x^2 + 34x = x^2 + 204
-x^2 -x^2
____________________
34x = 204
Divide 34 on both sides
x = 6.
The number is 6.
