Analyze the diagram below and complete the instructions that follow. Find the unknown side length, x. Write your answer in simplest radical form.

x = 65

Solution:

In the given diagram is a right angled triangle.

Base of the triangle = 56

Height of the triangle = 33

Hypotenuse = x

To find the hypotenuse of the given triangle.

By the Pythagoras theorem,

Taking square root on both sides of the equation, we get

Hence x = 65.

x is greater than 5

step-by-step explanation:

2x+7 is greater than 17

    -7                           -7

2x is greater than 10

divide by 2 each side

x is greater than 5
