half of 16.2?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[24.6^{2}-16.2^{2}=\frac{ 1 }{ 4 }x ^{2}\rightarrow x=2\sqrt{24.6^{2}-16.2^{2}}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no dude,here comes the pythegorean theorem :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ugh i suck i literally have no clue

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x=37

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hmmmmmm

Thank You!!!!!!!!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the height has halved x into two halves so apply the pythegorean theorem for any half then solve for x ...
