Question

What is the value of x? If necessary, round your answer to two decimal places.

Answer 1

What is the equation?

Answer 2

we use Pythagorean theorem here
i.e H^2 = P^2 + B^2
here from the figure.
B = base = 13
H = Hypotenuse = 26
P = ?
as we put in the equation above...
(26)^2 = P^2 + (13)^2
676 = P^2 + 169
676 - 169 = P^2
P^2 = 507
taking root
P = 22.51
i.e P = 26
