In the xy coordinate plane, the distance between point B(10, 18) and point A(x, 3) is 17. What is one possible value of x?

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

well by using pythagoras' theorem which is the distance formula you know \[17^2 = (10 - x)^2 + (18 - 3)^2\] just solve for x

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

so there should be 2 values for x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x=18 and x=2
