00:14 | com to find the value of X . In this | |
00:21 | example , notice that we have a right triangle so | |
00:26 | we can use the pythagorean theorem . The pythagorean theorem | |
00:31 | states that the sum of the squares of the lengths | |
00:34 | of the legs of a right triangle is equal to | |
00:38 | the square of the length of the hypotenuse , or | |
00:42 | a squared plus B squared equals C squared where A | |
00:50 | and B . Are the legs of the right triangle | |
00:54 | and C . Is the hypotenuse . So here , | |
00:59 | since our legs have lengths of six and 8 and | |
01:03 | our hipaa tennis has a length of X . We | |
01:07 | can set up the equation six squared plus eight squared | |
01:15 | equals x squared solving from here , six squared is | |
01:23 | six times six or 36 and eight squared is eight | |
01:29 | times 8 or 64 . So we have 36 plus | |
01:35 | 64 equals x squared , 36 plus 64 is 100 | |
01:43 | . So we have 100 equals X squared now to | |
01:50 | get X by itself , since X is being squared | |
01:54 | , we must take the square root of X , | |
01:58 | and if we take the square root of the right | |
02:01 | side of the equation , we must also take the | |
02:04 | square root of the left side of the equation On | |
02:08 | the left , the square root of 100 is 10 | |
02:13 | , and on the right , the square root of | |
02:15 | x squared is X . So our answer is 10 | |
02:21 | equals x . |
