Question

What is the value of x? Enter your answer in the box. x = A right triangle. The legs are labeled seven and twenty-four, and the hypotenuse is labeled x.

Answer 1

Solution :-

Given - 

The two sides other than hypotenuse = 7 cm and 24 cm

By using Pythagoras Theorem.

(Hypotenuse)²  = √(Base)² + (Perpendicular)²

Let the hypotenuse of the given triangle be x cm

⇒ (x)² = √(7)² + (24)²

⇒ √49 + 576

⇒ √625

⇒ 25

So, the length of hypotenuse is 24 cm.
