Answer:
x = 7.55
Step-by-step explanation:
We can use the Pythagorean theorem to solve
a^2 +b^2 = c^2
where a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse
a^2 +8^2 = 11^2
x^2 +64 = 121
Subtract 64 from each side
x^2 +64-64 = 121-64
x^2 =57
Take the square root of each side
sqrt(x^2) = sqrt(57)
x = 7.549834435
To the nearest hundredth
x = 7.55
