Question

for the following right triangle, find the side length x. round your answer to the nearest hundredth.

Explanation:

Step1: Aplicar el Teorema de Pitágoras

$$x^{2}+16^{2}=20^{2}$$

Step2: Simplificar la ecuación

$$x^{2}+256 = 400$$
$$x^{2}=400 - 256$$
$$x^{2}=144$$

Step3: Calcular la raíz cuadrada

$$x=\sqrt{144}$$
$$x = 12.00$$

Answer:

12.00
