Question

If the sides of right angled triangle are x,x+2,x+4, then find the value of x

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

By using Pythagoras theorem we find will find the value of x

In the above picture there are two value of x are : x = -2 & x = 6

the value of x is 6 because 2 is in negative sign.

Answer 2

Answer:

x = -2 unit or x = 6 unit

Step-by-step explanation:

Of course hypotenuse is the larger side in a right angle triangle.

If x is a positive number then x+4 is the hypotenuse.

According to Pythagorean theorem,

$(x+4)^{2} =(x+2)^{2}+x^{2}$

$x^{2} +8x+16=x^{2} +4x+4+x^{2}$

$x^{2} -4x-12=0$

x = -2 or x = 6
