Question

I will give a brainliest and 20pts to the person that can use the Pythagorean theorem to solve for x. Please help. I went over it several times and the answer I got doesn't match up with what the box says ​

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 48

Step-by-step explanation:

Pythagorean thm:

a² + b² = c²

Given:

a = x

b = 36

c = 60

Work:

a² + b² = c²

x² + 36² = 60²

x² + 1296 = 3600

x² = 3600 - 1296

x² = 2304

√x² = √2304

x = 48
