We are given a right triangle and we are asked to determine the hypotenuse given the measure of its sides. To do that we will use the Pythagorean theorem:
Now, we solve the square:
Now, we add the values:
Now, we take the square root to both sides:
Solving the operations:
Therefore, the length of the hypotenuse is 22.361 kilometers.

Answer:
x ≈ 0.309906932381 or 4
Step-by-step explanation:
There are no algebraic methods of solving a mixed exponential and polynomial equation. The value of x can be found by guessing, or by other means such as trial and error or graphing.
Attached is a graph showing two solutions. x = 4 is the integer solution (2^4 = 4·4). The irrational solution is approximately x ≈ 0.309906932381. That precision is obtained by Newton's method iteration, easily done by a graphing calculator.
