@bibby

Answer 2

Use the pythagorean theorem to get...


a^2 + b^2 = c^2
x^2 + 16^2 = 19^2
x^2 + 256 = 361
x = ???


I'll let you finish up

Answer 3

11,025

Answer 4

how are you getting that result?

Answer 5

256 - 361=-105 x -105 and i got that answer

Answer 6

x^2 + 256 = 361

x^2 + 256-256 = 361-256

x^2 = 105

x = ???

note: you do NOT square 105 to get 11,025

Answer 7

so x is 105

Answer 8

x squared is 105

x itself isn't 105

Answer 9

i have to find the square root of 105?

Answer 10

the exact answer is \[\Large x = \sqrt{105}\]

Answer 11

and it cannot be simplified

Answer 12

i square rooted it and i got 10.24

Answer 13

\[\Large \sqrt{105} \approx 10.24695\]

so the approximate answer is

\[\Large x \approx 10.24695\]

don't forget to round that to the nearest tenth
