Find the unknown side length, x. Write your answer in simplest radical form.
A. 4132
B. 22
C. 16/5
D. 16 V13

Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
Use the pythagorean theorem.
32^2+b^2=48^2
1024+b^2=2304
Subtract 1024
b^2=1280
Square root
b=sqrt(1280)
Now simplify sqrt(1280)
sqrt(1280) = sqrt(256*5)
You can take the square root of 256 since it is a perfect square so take it out of the radical.
sqrt(256*5)=16sqrt(5)
So the answer is c, 16[tex]\sqrt{5}[/tex]
Answer:
C. 16/5
Step-by-step explanation:
pythagorean theorem
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
divide 48 and 32 by 16
a= 2 c= 3
4 + b^2 = 9
b^2 = 5
b = √5
then multiply 16 with √5
which =
16√5
