Answer 1

Answer:

x ≈ 14.87

Step-by-step explanation:

Using Pythagoras' identity in the right triangle.

The square on the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares on the other 2 sides, that is

x² = 10² + 11² = 100 + 121 = 221 ( take the square root of both sides )

x = $\sqrt{221}$ ≈ 14.87 ( to the nearest hundredth )
