Find the missing length indicated. Leave your answer in simplest radical form.

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 36

Step-by-step explanation:

The altitude to the hypotenuse is the mean proportional between the segemts of the hypotenuse.

So,  $\frac{64}{48} = \frac{48}{x}$

64x = 48(48) = 2304

   x = 2304/64

   x = 36
