Answer:
12
Step-by-step explanation:
Since this is a right angle triangle, and we have two lengths already found, we can use pythagoras to find x.
We know that
a²+b²=c²
Where a, and b are the smaller lengths (the adjacent and opposite), and C is always the longest one (the hypotenuse).
We want to find x, which in this case is c. So,
to solve for c, we get
c=[tex]\sqrt{a^2+b^2 }[/tex]
So, after plugging in the values, we get
[tex]c=\sqrt{10.6^2+6.1^2}[/tex]
[tex]c=12.23\\\\=12 (rounded)[/tex]
