To find the value of \( x \) where one side measures 20 and the other measures 9, we could be looking at a right triangle where \( x \) could represent the length of the hypotenuse.
Using the Pythagorean theorem:
\[
x^2 = a^2 + b^2
\]
where \( a \) and \( b \) are the lengths of the two sides. Here, \( a = 20 \) and \( b = 9 \).
Calculating:
\[
x^2 = 20^2 + 9^2
\]
\[
x^2 = 400 + 81
\]
\[
x^2 = 481
\]
\[
x = \sqrt{481} \approx 21.9
\]
Rounding to the nearest tenth gives:
\[
x \approx 21.9
\]
Given the provided responses do not include 21.9, if you need to consider it in a different context or if \( x \) represents a different measure (like an angle or perimeter), please provide further details. However, based on the calculation of the lengths provided (20 and 9), the hypotenuse or value calculated yields approximately 21.9.
