Question

SOLVE FOR X plz this is like the 5th time i ask, plz don’t respond with links

Answer 1

Answer: I used the Pythagorean theorem and got 6.24, but if I was supposed to use another method, just let me know.

The formula is a^2+b^2=c^2

a=5

c=8

b=?

5^2+b^2=8^2

25+b^2=64

b^2=39

b=6.24,

(If it doesn't work, put x=6.24, x=-6.24. It can be both technically, but most teachers ask only for the first one. )
