Step-by-step explanation:
The Pythagorean theorem can be used to find the hypotenuse associated with each pair of legs. That tells you ...
c² = a² +b² . . . . . legs a, b; hypotenuse c
__
<h3>alternate form of Pythagorean theorem</h3>For the purpose of this problem, it is convenient to consider a slightly different form of the equation.
For legs √a and √b, the hypotenuse √c is given by ...
(√c)² = (√a)² +(√b)²
c = a +b
That is ...
legs √a, √b ⇒ hypotenuse √(a+b)
__
<h3>application to this problem</h3>Since the legs are (mostly) given in terms of square roots, the value under the radical for the hypotenuse is simply the sum of those:
legs: √1, √2 ⇒ hypotenuse √(1+2) = √3
legs: √2, √3 ⇒ hypotenuse √(2+3) = √5
legs: √5, √3 ⇒ hypotenuse √(5+3) = √8
legs: √5, √1 ⇒ hypotenuse √(5+1) = √6

<em>Additional comment</em>
You may not see the leg lengths given as square roots very often. This is a rather unusual set of problems for hypotenuse length.
Answer:
The value of x is 1.5
Step-by-step explanation:
<em>In similar figures, corresponding sides have the same ratio</em>
In the given figure
∵ There are 2 similar polygons
∴ We must write their names with corresponding angles
∵ ∠A = ∠L, ∠B = ∠M, ∠C = ∠N, ∠D = ∠P
∴ Their names are ABCD and LMNP
→ By using the rule above
∴ Their corresponding sides have the same ratio
∴ =
∵ AB = 14 and LM = x + 9
∵ BC = 10 and MN = x + 6
→ Substitute them in the ratio up
∴ =
→ By using the cross multiplication
∵ 14 × (x + 6) = 10 × (x + 9)
∴ 14(x) + 14(6) = 10(x) + 10(9)
∴ 14x + 84 = 10x + 90
→ Subtract 10x from both sides
∵ 14x - 10x + 84 = 10x - 10x + 90
∴ 4x + 84 = 90
→ Subtract both sides by 84
∵ 4x + 84 - 84 = 90 - 84
∴ 4x = 6
→ Divide both sides by 4 to find x
∴ x = 1.5
∴ The value of x is 1.5
