What is the length of x?

Marat540 [252]

Answer:

The length of 'x' is 4

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the pythagorean theorem to solve this.

The pythagorean theorem is:

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

$a ^{2} + b^{2} = c^{2} \\ {3}^{2} + {b}^{2} = 5^{2} \\ 9 + {b}^{2} = 25 \\ \frac{ - 9 \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: = - 9}{b ^{2} = \sqrt{16} } \\ b = 4$

Therefore x = 4
