Solve for x.
a) 5√12
b) 12√5
c) 33
d) 6√5

Answer:
b
Step-by-step explanation:
Altitude- 0n- hypotenuse theorem
(leg of big Δ )² = ( part of hypotenuse below it ) × ( whole hypotenuse ), that is
x² = (30 - 6) × 30 = 24 × 30 = 720 ( take square root of both sides )
x = [tex]\sqrt{720}[/tex]
= [tex]\sqrt{144(5)}[/tex] = [tex]\sqrt{144}[/tex] × [tex]\sqrt{5}[/tex] = 12[tex]\sqrt{5}[/tex] → b
