From the two right triangles, you can write the following equations using the Pythagorean theorem. Let's call that shared leg in the middle "y"
y^2 + b^2 = a^2
y^2 + c^2 = x^2
y^2 + b^2 = a^2
re-write this to get "y" alone for substitution.
y^2 = a^2 - b^2
substitute (a^2 - b^2) for y^2 in the other equation. y^2 + c^2 = x^2
a^2 - b^2 + c^2 = x^2
Now put in the values given for a,b,c to solve for x
(7.1)^2 - (5.6)^2 + (5.7)^2 = x^2
51.54 = x^2
square root
7.2 = x
We evaluate b^2 - 4ac. If the answer is positive, then there are two real solutions. If it is zero, there is one real solution. If it is negative, there are 2 complex solutions. In this equation, a = 1, b = 5, c = 7. Now we plug in the numbers.

Because this answer is positive, there are two real solutions.
Answer:
6
Step-by-step explanation:
The number on the right side of the equal side represents the radius, HOWEVER, it is squared, therefore you must square root it to get 6
