Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
PART A
The Pythagoras theorem is expressed as
Hypotenuse^2 = opposite side^2 + adjacent side^2
PART 2
The hypotenuse is the longest side of the triangle. Looking at the given triangle, the longest side is the side with the length of 7. Therefore, hypotenuse = 7
PART C
To determine x, we will apply the Pythagoras theorem as stated above.
Opposite side = √14
Adjacent side = x
Therefore
7^2 = x^2 + (√14)^2
49 = x^2 + 14
x^2 = 49-14 = 35
Taking square root of both sides of the equation, it becomes
x = √35
x = 5.92
