Find the value of x. round the answer to the nearest tenth, if needed.

a.
6.9
b.
15.9
c.
36.8
d.
42.3

Let the other 2 unknown sides be y n z

look at the two smaller triangles inside

y^2 = 12^2 + x^2   and

z^2 = 21^2 + x^2

from the biggest triangle

(12+21)^2 = y^2 + z^2

substituting

(12+21)^2 = (12^2 + x^2) + (21^2 + x^2)

33^2 = 12^2 + 21^2 + 2x^2

2x^2 = (33^2 - 12^2 - 21^2)/2 = 504

x^2 = 252

x = 15.9

ans is B

Ifound this on google “that means that the graph of a function with direct variation has these features: it is a straight line: because the slope is the ratio y/x = k. it passes through the origin (0,0): because y = kx = k (0) = 0.” i hope this you for what your looking for
