Answer:
The value of x = 13.7.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Hypotenuse = c = 16.5
a = 9.2
To determine
x = b ?
For a right-angled triangle with sides a, and b the hypotenuse is defined as
[tex]c=\sqrt{a^2+b^2}[/tex]
In our case, we have to get x
[tex]b=\sqrt{c^2-a^2}[/tex]
so substituting b = x, c = 16.5, a = 9.2
[tex]x=\sqrt{16.5^2-9.2^2}[/tex]
[tex]x=13.7[/tex]
Therefore, the value of x = 13.7.
