Find the value of x to the nearest tenth.

x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Remark

Find the hypotenuse of the triangle. That is also the length of the rectangle.

Then use Pythagoras to find x.

Givens and solution

two sides of the triangle both = to 6

Find the base of the triangle which is also the length of the rectangle. Call the base = y

6^2 + 6^2 = y^2

36 + 36 = y^2

y^2 = 72

sqrt(y^2) = sqrt(72)

y = 8.4853

Transfer x to the opposite side of the rectangle.

x^2 = diagonal^2 - y^2

x^2 = 9^2 - y^2

x^2 = 81 - 72

x^2 = 9

sqrt(x^2)= sqrt(9)

x = 3
