Question

fig 6.29
find the "x"​

Answer 1

Answer:

70

Step-by-step explanation:

By Pythagoras x/2= 35

(12,35,37)

x=70

Answer 2

Consider the right angled triangle

hypotenuse = 37

height = 12

base = x/2

Using Pythagoras theorem

(37)² = (12)² + (x/2)²

1369 = 144 + x²

4

1369 - 144 = x²

4

1225 = x²

4

1225 × 4 = x²

x² = 4900

x = 70
