Answer:
[tex]H = 53.30[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
[tex]Side\ 1 = 7x + 41[/tex]
[tex]Side\ 2 = 5x[/tex]
Required
Determine side x
The hypotenuse (H) is calculated using:
[tex]H^2 = Side\ 1^2 + Side\ 2^2[/tex]
[tex]H^2 = (7x + 41)^2 + (5x)^2[/tex]
Substitute 9 for x:
[tex]H^2 = (7*9 + 41)^2 + (5*9)^2[/tex]
[tex]H^2 = 10816 + 2025[/tex]
[tex]H^2 = 12841[/tex]
So:
[tex]H = \sqrt {2841[/tex]
[tex]H = 53.30[/tex]
