There’s a right triangle

Find the value of X if a = 1X +36 and B = 1X
X=

1 answer

In a right triangle, we can use the Pythagorean theorem, which states that \(a^2 + b^2 = c^2\), where \(c\) is the hypotenuse, and \(a\) and \(b\) are the other two sides.

From your question, \(a = 1X + 36\) and \(b = 1X\).

Let's denote \(X\) with a single variable \(x\) for clarity:

  1. \(a = x + 36\)
  2. \(b = x\)

Now we can set up the equation using the Pythagorean theorem. However, we need the hypotenuse \(c\). Since you didn't provide the hypotenuse, we might need additional information.

Assuming that the problem wants us to find \(x\) when \(c\) is given, you would substitute values and solve the equation accordingly.

If \(c\) is not provided or if you have additional conditions or values for \(x\), please provide these so we can proceed with a solution.

If we assume \(a\) and \(b\) are the legs of the triangle and we want to find \(x\) assuming \(c\) is some specific value, let me know that value, or we may need more context to solve it further.
