Answer:

x = + 14.88 km

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve for x using the Pythagorean Theorem.  

The length of the hypotenuse is 15.8 km; that of the shorter leg is 5.3 km.

Since a² + b² = c², we get:

(5.3 km)² + x² = (15.8 km)²

Solving for x², we obtain (15.8 km)² - (5.3 km)² = 249.64 km² - 28.09 km²

The last expression returns the value 221.55 km² for x²

Taking the square root of both sides, we get x = + 14.88 km

  • Step by step :

x² = (15,8)² - (5,3)²

x² = 249,64 - 28,09

x² = 221,55

x = 14,88km✔
