Question 87356: Can someone please help me out with this: I am supposed to find the length x. Express your answer in simplified radical form. the triangle is 51 ft on one side, 45 ft on the other side, then there is x. Answer by checkley75(3666) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! IF THIS IS A RIGHT TRIANGLE & THE 51 FT. SIDE IS THE HYPOTENUSE THEN:
51^2=45^2+X^2
2601=2025+X^2
X^2=2601-2025
X^2=576
X=SQRT576
X=24 FT. FOR THE THIRD SIDE.
