Find the missing length indicated​

240

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given a right triangle. Based on the leg rule, the following equation shows how the length of a leg in a right triangle relates with the segments connected to the hypotenuse:

Hypotenuse/leg = leg/part

Where,

Hypo = 400

Leg = x

Part = 144

Substitute

400/x = x/144

Cross multiply

400*144 = x*x

57,600 = x²

√57,600 = x

240 = x

x = 240

the simplified form is

step-by-step explanation:

we want to simplify the expression,

let us change the middle bar to a normal division sign to obtain,

we multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction to obtain,

we factor to obtain,

we cancel the common factors to get,

we simplify to get,

the correct answer is b
