To solve for x in the triangle shown, we can use the Pythagorean theorem:
x^2 = 25.96^2 + 31.18^2
x^2 = 671.5216 + 971.5924
x^2 = 1643.114
x ≈ √1643.114
x ≈ 40.53
Therefore, x is approximately 40.53 when rounded to the nearest hundredth.
Using your calculator, solve for x in the image below. This is the same triangle image you used to answer questions 9-11.
