Image attached below.

Answer 1

First step - do you know the pythagorean theorem for right triangles?

Answer 2

a2 + b2 = c2?

Answer 3

Yup!
$$a^2 + b^2 = c^2 $$

Answer 4

@kaileyperez11 , x does not represent an angle, it represents a length of a side.

Answer 5

@schoolboy58 , do you know which sides are a, b, and c?

Answer 6

um, not really.

Answer 7

Okay, no problem.

In pythagorean's theorem, C is the hypotenuse. That's the length of the triangle that's opposite of the 90 degree angle.
