To solve these type of problems you need to use the pythagoras theorem ⇨ Hypotenuse² = Base² + Altitude².
Here,
- Altitude = 1.6 cm.
- Base = 1.2 cm
- Hypotenuse = x
Now, let's solve for x.
Hypotenuse² = Base² + Altitude²
x² = (1.2)² + (1.6)²
x² = 1.44 + 2.56
x² = 4
x = √4
x = <em><u>2</u></em><em><u>.</u></em>
- So, the value of x is <em><u>2</u><u> </u><u>cm.</u></em>

- Pythagoras theorem can be used only in the cases of right-angled triangles. Here, it's given that the triangle is right angled so we can use this theorem.
- To solve the squares if decimals, take them as whole numbers & then just add the decimal points. For example, ⇨ for (1.2)², take it as 12² , then multiply 12 by 12, you'll get 144. Now, add the decimal place accordingly ⇨ 1.44 . So, (1.2)² = 1.44.

Answer:
1. x^2 +2x -24 = 0
2. x^2 -7x +10 = 0
Step-by-step explanation:
If you look at the factored and expanded forms of a quadratic with solutions p and q, you see ...
(x -p)(x -q) = x^2 -(p+q) +pq
The x-term coefficient is the opposite of the sum of solutions.
The constant is the product of solutions.
This knowledge lets you write down the standard form equation with no particular effort.
1. x^2 +2x -24 = 0
2. x^2 -7x +10 = 0
