What is the value of x? Round your answer to the nearest tenth if necessary. Right triangle whose two legs measure six and four, and whose hypotenuse is x
Since we're dealing with a right triangle we can use Pythagoras' Theorem. So we have that x^2 = 6^2 + 4^2 <=> x^2 = 36 + 16 <=> x^2 = 52 <=> x = square root (52) <=> x = ~7.2.
