Applying the Pythagorean Theorem

What is the value of x?

x = ?

Answer :

hyp² = base² + perp²

by putting the values we get

10² = 8² + perp²

100 = 64 + perp²

taking 64 to left side.

100 - 64 = perp²

36 = perp²

Now taking underroot on both sides we get

therefore

6 = perp

perp is x in the above solution.

75

step-by-step explanation:

you do x-29=46 (the number of cantaloupes sold)

in order to find x, you have to find what minus 29 equals 46, meaning you'd have to add 29 to 46.

29+46=75

if you replace x with 75, the equation looks like:

75-29=46

x=75
