Find the missing length indicated​

c = 175

Step-by-step explanation:

When the height of a right triangle is shown this way (at right angles with the hypotenuse, It can be found by using the way the hypotenuse is broken up. The following proportion works.

576/x = x / 49          Cross multiply

x^2 = 576 * 49

sqrt(x^2) = sqrt(576*49)

x = 24 * 7

x = 168

But that's not what you want (although it is close).

What you want is the hypotenuse to the small lower triangle

c = ?

a = 49

b = 168

c^2 =  49^2 + 168^2

c^2 = 2401 + 28224

c^2 = 30625

c = sqrt(30625)

c = 175

x is variable or an unknown value to find

example:

2x = 5 which means x = 3

just needed some points but try socratic
