Question

7) what is the approximate value of x? (Hint: there are two right angle triangles here, round to the nearest tenth)

Answer 1

Answer:

x= 8.2

Step-by-step explanation:

first we need to find the hypotenuse of the smaller triangle

3² + 4² = C

9 + 16 = 25

√25 = 5

now that we found the hypotenuse of the smaller triangle then we now find the hypotenuse of the larger one (x)

6.5² + 5² = C

42.25 + 25 = 67.25

√67.25 = 8.2
