Respuesta :

x = 65

Solution:

In the given diagram is a right angled triangle.

Base of the triangle = 56

Height of the triangle = 33

Hypotenuse = x

To find the hypotenuse of the given triangle.

By the Pythagoras theorem,

[tex]Hypotenuse ^{2}= Base ^{2}+ Height ^{2}[/tex]

[tex]x^2=56^2+33^2[/tex]

[tex]x^2=3136+1089[/tex]

[tex]x^2=4225[/tex]

Taking square root on both sides of the equation, we get

[tex]\sqrt {x^2}=\sqrt {65^{2}}[/tex]

[tex]x=65[/tex]

Hence x = 65.
