Question

For the following right triangle, find the side length x. Round your answer to the nearest hundredth.

Answer 1

Answer:

$\sqrt{113}$ = x

Step-by-step explanation:

In right triangles the sum of square length of two legs is equal to square length of hypotenuse:

7^2 + 8^2 = x^2

49 + 64 = x^2 add like terms

113 = x^2 find the root for both sides

$\sqrt{113}$ = x
