Answer:
x=2.0
Step-by-step explanation:
Assuming side x is tangent to the circle, we know that this is a right triangle
One of the sides is the radius. We know the radius is 1.5 units long
The other is 1.5+1 units. The length of this side is 2.5 units.
Using the pythagorean theorem...
x²+1.5²=2.5²
x²=6.25-2.25
√x²=√4
x=2
Hope this helps!
