OpenStudy (raden):

by using the pythagorean theorema : x^2 = 12^2 - 11^2 now solve for x, can u

OpenStudy (anonymous):

forgot

OpenStudy (raden):

just simplify the calculating of 12^2-11^2 and then take squareroot to get x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so is it the square root of 23

OpenStudy (raden):

yes... u are right :)
