49^2=(6x+4)^2+45^2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

This is a problem in similar triangles, not Pythagorean. 4x + 56 = 2(6x + 4) Solve for x and you can go back to your lengths and substitute in your found value of x.

how do i solve for anwser

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Multiply out the right side by expanding it. Then put the "x" terms on one side and the constants on the other.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

For the right side, a(b + c) = ab + ac distributive law of multiplication.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

a=2, b=6x, and c=4 Now, substitute.
