Answer:
X = 12.12
Step-by-step explanation:
Use the Pythagorean Theorem for this question.
[tex]a^2 + b^2 = c^2[/tex]
7 is one of the legs while 14 is the hypotenuse. So we set up the equation like this:
[tex]a^2 + 7^2 = 14^2[/tex]
Square 7 and 14:
[tex]a^2 + 49 = 196[/tex]
Minus 49 from both sides:
[tex](a^2 + 49) - 49 = (196) - 49[/tex]
[tex]a^2 = 147[/tex]
Square root both sides:
[tex]\sqrt{a^2} = \sqrt{147}[/tex]
[tex]a = 12.12[/tex]
Therefore x is equal to 12.12
Hope this helps!!
