Find the length x. Express your answer in simplified radical form. The measurements are of a triangle:Left side (longer than right side) 51ft. Right side (shorter than left side) x. The bottom 45ft. Answer by checkley75(3666) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! GIVEN THIS IS A RIGHT TRIANGLE THEN THE BASE (X) IS:
X^2+45^2=51^2
X62+2025=2601
X^2=2601-2025
X^2=576
X=SQRT576
X=24 LENGTH OF THE BASE.
