To find the value of x, we can use the Pythagorean theorem, which states that in a right triangle, the square of the length of the hypotenuse (c) is equal to the sum of the squares of the lengths of the other two sides (a and b). In this case, the hypotenuse is 5.6 and the bottom side is 8.4, so we have:
(8.4)^2 + x^2 = (5.6)^2
70.56 + x^2 = 31.36
x^2 = 31.36 - 70.56
x^2 = 39.2
x = √39.2
x ≈ 6.27
Therefore, the value of x is approximately 6.27. None of the answer choices match this value, so it seems there may have been an error in the description of the problem.
Find the value of x. Assume that segments that appear to be tangent are tangent.
The image is a circle with a triangle in the inside.The hypotenuse being 5.6, the bottom of the triangle is 8.4 and also happens to be the radius of the circle and the other side undetermined or x.
