For the rectangle shown, which equation can be used to find the value of x?

Answer:
Pythagorean theorem [tex]a^{2} +b^{2} =c^{2}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]a^{2} +b^{2} =c^{2} \\x^{2} +3.6^{2} =7.4^{2} \\x^{2} +12.96=54.76\\x^{2} =\sqrt{41.8} \\x=6.47\\[/tex]
The value of x is 6.46 inch.
Pythagoras theorem states that “In a right-angled triangle, the square of the hypotenuse side is equal to the sum of squares of the other two sides“.
Given: breadth = 3.6, diagonal= 7.4
Using Pythagoras theorem,
H²=P²+B²
(7.4)²= (3.6)²+B²
54.76=12.96 + B²
54.76-12.96=B²
41.8= B²
B= 6.46 inch.
Hence, the value of x is 6.46 inch.
