Answer:
x = 10
Step-by-step explanation:
Use Pythagorean theorem to find the value of x
Focus only on one half of the triangle
if we slice the triangle in half, we get a right angle triangle
the base will now be 12/2 = 6
Pythagorean theorem says that [tex]a^2 + b^2 = c^2[/tex]
plug 6 as a and 8 as b.
this should give you 100
now take the square root to find c (which equals x)
Ta-da!
