Question

In the figure alongside, find the
value of x

​

Answer 1

Answer:

x= 15

Step-by-step explanation:

17^2 = 8^2 + x^2

289 = 64 +x^2

289 - 64 = x^2

x^2 = 225

x = 15

Answer 2

Answer:

$by \: using \: pythagorus \: theorem \\ {17}^{2} = {8}^{2} + {x}^{2} \\ {x}^{2} = {17}^{2} - {8}^{2} \\ x = \sqrt{ {17}^{2} - {8}^{2} } \\ x = \sqrt{289 - 64} \\ x = \sqrt{225} \\ x = 15$
