Question

3. Find the value of x in the figure
Х
8cm
15cm​

Answer 1

Answer:

here pythagoras theorem will be applied

x^2=a^2+b^2

x^2=8^2+15^2

x^2=64+225

x^2=289

x=17

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

let x= h

by Pythagoras theorem

(hypotenuse)² = (perpendicular)²+ (base)²

(h)² = (p)² + (b)²

(h)² = 8² + 15²

(h)² = 64+225

(h)² = 289

h =√289

h = 17

so the the value of x is 17
