x > 3 is your answer
A number is a solution when it fits within the range of answers that the function generates.
A :-) 1.) Given - base = 9 cm
height ( alt ) = 12 cm
hypotenuse ( hypo ) = x
Solution -
By Pythagorus theorem
( hypo )^2 = ( base )^2 + ( alt )^2
( x )^2 = ( 9 )^2 + ( 12 ) ^2
( x )^2 = 81 + 144
( x )^2 = 225
( x ) = _/225
( x ) = 15 cm
.:. The value of x ( hypotenuse ) = 15 cm
2.) Given - base = 10 cm
Height = 24 cm
Hypotenuse = x
Solution -
By pythagorus theorem
( hypo )^2 = ( base )^2 + ( alt )^2
( x )^2 = ( 10 )^2 + ( 24 )^2
( x )^2 = 100 + 576
( x )^2 = 676
( x ) = _/676
( x ) = 26
.:. The value of x ( hypotenuse ) = 26 cm
3.) Given - base = 3 cm
Height = 7 cm
Hypotenuse = x
Solution -
By pythagorus theorem
( hypo )^2 = ( base )^2 + ( alt )^2

( x )^2 = 9 + 49
( x )^2 = 58
( x ) = _/58
( x ) = 7.6
.:. The value of x ( hypotenuse ) = 7.6 cm
4.) Given - base = 10 cm
Height = 6 cm
Hypotenuse = x
Solution -
By pythagorus theorem
( Hypo )^2 = ( base )^2 + ( alt )^2
( x )^2 = ( 10 )^2 + ( 6 )^2
( x )^2 = 100 + 36

( 24 )^2 = ( x )^2 + ( 6 )^2
( x )^2 = ( 6 )^2 - ( 24 )^2
( x )^2 = 36 - 576
( x )^2 = -540
( x ) = _/-540
( x ) = 23.2
.:. The value of x ( base ) = 23.2 cm
6.) Given - base = 1 cm
height = 1 cm
hypotenuse = x
Solution -
By pythagorus theorem
( hypo )^2 = ( base )^2 + ( alt )^2
( x )^2 = ( 1 )^2 + ( 1 )^2
( x )^2 = 1 + 1
( x )^2 = 2
( x ) = _/2
( x ) = 1.4
.:. The value of x ( hypotenuse ) = 1.4 cm
7.) Given - hypotenuse = 21 cm
height = 8 cm
Base = x
Solution -
By pythagorus theorem
( hypo )^2 = ( base )^2 + ( alt )^2
( 21 )^2 = ( x )^2 + ( 8 )^2
441 = ( x )^2 + 64
( x )^2 = 64 - 441
( x )^2 = -377
( x ) = _/-377
( x ) = 19.4
.:. The value of x ( base ) = 19.4
8.) given - height = 24 cm
Hypotenuse = 30cm
Base = x
Solution -
By pythagorus theorem
( hypo )^2 = ( base )^2 + ( alt )^2
( 30 )^2 = ( x )^2 + ( 24 )^2
900 = ( x )^2 + 576
( x )^2 = 576 - 900
( x )^2 = -324
( x ) = _/-324
( x ) = 18
.:. The value of x ( base ) = 18 cm
9.) ( i ) lets find ‘x’
Given - base = 9 cm
height = 5 cm
hypotenuse = x
Solution -
By pythagorus theorem
( hypo )^2 = ( base )^2 + ( alt )^2
( x )^2 = ( 9 )^2 + ( 5 )^2
( x )^2 = 81 +25
( x )^2 = 106
( x ) = _/106
( x ) = 10.2
.:. The value of x ( hypotenuse )
= 10.2 cm
( ii ) lets find ‘y’
Given - base = 3 cm
height = 5 cm
Hypotenuse = y
Solution -
By pythagorus theorem
( hypo )^2 = ( base )^2 + ( alt )^2
( y )^2 = ( 3 )^2 + ( 5 )^2
( y )^2 = 9 + 25
( y )^2 = 34
( y ) = _/34
( y ) = 5.8
.:. The value of y ( hypotenuse )
= 5.8 cm
