Question

Which equation can be used to find x, the length of the hypotenuse of the right triangle?

A triangle has side lengths 63, 16, x.

Answer 1

Answer:

root of 63 raised to the power 2 plus 16 raised to the power 2

Answer 2

The value of x is 65.

Step-by-step explanation:

A triangle has side lengths 63, 16, x.

Given p = 63 , b = 16 and h = x

By using pythagorean theorem,

$h = \sqrt{p^{2} + b^{2}} \\\\x = \sqrt{63^{2} + 16^{2}}\\\\x = \sqrt{3969 + 256}\\\\x = \sqrt{4225}\\\\x = 65$

Hence, the value of x is 65.
