Answer:

8

Step-by-step explanation:

100 = x^2 + AC^2

17^2 = AC^2 + (21 - x)^2

289 = AC^2 + 21^2 + x^2 - 2*21*x

289 =<u> AC^2</u> + 441 +<u> x^2</u> - 42x

from 1st equation AC^2 + x^2 = 100

289 = 441 + 100 - 42x

289 = 541 - 42x

42x = 541 - 289 = 252

x = 252/42 = 6

so AC^2 = 100 - 6^2 = 100 - 36 = 64

AC = 8

What is the Pythagorean theorem and how do I use it?
Leviafan [203]
I actually just learned this in 8th grade and it was so easy its crazy but its honestly simple it helps you solve the triangles and things and the equation is a squared + b squared = c squared and the a and b you would plug in the sides of the triangle or whatever shape your working with and square those numbers then find c by adding the two and then you square the c at the end and that will be your answer.
