Solve for x. Then find the side lengths of the triangle. If needed, round to the nearest tenth of a foot
40 ft
3x ft
6x ft
x=_
side lengths =___ft
side lengths = ___ft

Given:

The given triangle is a right triangle.

The hypotenuse of the triangle is 40 feet.

The legs of the triangle are 3x feet and 6x feet.

We need to determine the value of x and the side lengths.

Value of x:

The value of x can be determined using the Pythagorean theorem.

Thus, we have;

Thus, the value of x is 5.96

Side lengths:

The side lengths can be determined by substituting the value of x.

Thus, we have;

Length 3x =

Length 6x =

Therefore, the side lengths are 17.9 feet and 35.8 feet.

answer: finding the extract measurements and knowing the points

step-by-step explanation:

square root of 36/6 = 2.449489743

square root of 16/6 = 1.632993162

square root of 6 = 2.449489743

the answer is square root of 16/6 because the square root of 36/6 is the same answer as square root of 6 = 2.449489743
