Answer:
x = 7.3 (approx.)
Step-by-step explanation:
As the given triangle is right angled, we can use Pythagoras theorem.
Hypotenuse = 11.2
Perpendicular = 8.5
Base = ?
To find base :
[tex]Base^{2} = Hypotenuse^{2} - Perpendicular^{2} \\Base^{2} = (11.2)^{2} - (8.5)^{2} \\Base^{2} = 125.44 - 72.25\\Base^{2} = 53.19\\Base = \sqrt{53.19} \\Base = 7.293[/tex]
Thus x = 7.3 (approx.)
Hope it helps.
